Buy a Naked Becue and get it over with.

Hyundais are dependable. I have one I bought new in 2011 and it is still going and has had no major repairs. I bought another new one last year.

Becue.

Shhhhhh

Rare.

Yes. And the jump stick for people who can't kick. And faster cloth and rails for people without a stroke. And BIH because some people couldn't win in 2 shot roll out.

It may be just me, but it seems that the people who don't win often are the people who always want to change the rules or have some sort of handicap handed to them.

The BEST cue for YOU is one you can TRUST to DO what YOU are CAPABLE of DOING. It is NOT a spec, a type, a brand, etc. If I can TRUST the cue to do what I am INTENDING to do, it is a GOOD cue. You have to have a cue that you can COMMUNICATE with. Some cues can NOT be TRUSTED.

Back in the day, in the Midwest, tournaments were few and far between. Most tournaments didn't pay much. Most gamblers didn't play in the tournaments, but had no problem playing the tournament players for cash if you could get them to gamble.

EVERY time that I have walked out with the money, I have won more games than my opponent and I have always played "even"...no spots. I never sharked anyone or hid my speed. I played full steam ahead right from the get go. If you hung with me, I came out ahead over 90% of the time. If you...

When I worked in the pool hall, I fixed up a house cue and it was my main playing cue. It was a 21oz ebony Brunswick with a 14mm shaft and a LePro tip. I hand-sanded the shaft into a pro taper. I kept it stashed behind the bar.

I carried a one piece bar cue for a long time.

Play with whatever works BEST for YOU and don't worry about what specs or brands of ANYTHING or what ANYBODY else says works BEST for THEM.
