I can only hope he's even worth that much. I gave my uncle (aunt's husband) a nice $160ish cue just off of GP cause he mentioned going out to play a few times, don't think he's played since i gave it to him.
There was another thread started a little while back, maybe someone can link it or you find it where someone was asking the same question and there was some great suggestions in it.

Without a doubt Schmelke.A plain,bocote or purple heart true sneaky.If he's a true beginner order an elk master tip.
Players cocobolo sneaky, can't go wrong with the price or the lifetime warranty
free shipping and free case don't hurt either

I agree with the Players. I have the rosewood version of the same cue and use it as a break cue. It is solid and is a good cue for the price.

Sneaky petes
Do yourself a giant favor and don't buy any sneaky pete that doesn't have a joint collar.
Allot of collarless joints have issue with the wood splitting at the joint.
Regardless if its the shaft or the butt the joint needs to be strengthened or reinforced .
+1 to silvercue for suggesting http://schmelkecue.com/

Holy crap! That's exactly what my situation has been.
I used a Players sneaky for a long time until I was given a Shurtz. Now it's my main cue.
The only difference is my nephews ain't getting the Players cue.EDIT: Pic or it didn't happen.

I have a Players cue and I like it a lot. I picked mine out in person and got the one with the best looking shaft and a good forward balance. I really want a custom cue, but this one gets the job done while I'm looking into what to get next.
