I've just started playing again in the last month and bought a players. Now I want a cue that I know is a good cue and will be confident in it. I'm not sure what maker but the player I have now is 19oz. I like birdseye, ebony, curly maple, stained birdseye/curly and i'm sure a few others.... I just want a good cue which I won't HAVE to buy another in the next few years and I KNOW it plays well. I've been looking at Olivier...Joss...Jack Madden... I don't really know what plays good and what doesn't so i'm asking for you guys advice and what you have for sale THANKS in advance(sorry if i repeated myself it's late):confused::help:

There is a guy in my area that has a Dale Perry which he bought 4 yrs ago and it cost $2800 and people say to stay away from Dale Perry.. ya know I don't have any idea.. I JUST WANT A GOOD PLAYING CUE..

EDIT:
I found a Jack Madden that I like...comes with 2 shafts, JP's, birdseye forearm and ebony/bolo butt for 650. also a local cue maker has a complete birdseye with leather wrap, one shaft no JP's for 550. what do you guys think?

Google josey cues. Can't go wrong - makes a fabulous cue!
 
$400-$700, huh?

For that price range, you can get a nice Schon or if you prefer custom I'd recommend Dominiak, Jim Reeves, or a low end Steve Klein.

Do you want custom such that you are willing to wait months to a year + for one? That will help people here tailor their recommendations.

Is a Jacoby considered to be a production or custom cue?

Are they made in the U.S.?

which one now...

I found a Jack Madden that I like...comes with 2 shafts, JP's, birdseye forearm and ebony/bolo butt for 650. also a local cue maker has a complete birdseye with leather wrap, one shaft no JP's for 550. what do you guys think?
 
Madden's are good cues.

My personal choices in that price range would be a MasonH, though it would be a little bit more. Onley's can be found in that price range, and you get a bunch of work for that price. JoeyinCali would be somewhere in that range as well I think. Makes a great cue.


Not to mention www.dzcues.com sneaky's, Chad Carter, and schon and joss cues.

Any good words on Stacey for him would be appreciated...
