Hi, I'm curious to know how do you deal with the situation of not having the money or the place at home to have a table. After some years do you get tired of always going to the pool hall to practice? And for those in that situation how much do you get the pool hall?

It was more of a question... If you're a beginner and want to start right on with a real LD cue you have no other choice to paid more than 400$? Why the Players HXT is so much apreciate if it's not a LD shaft?

So if you want a true LD no other choice to spend something like 400$ for a Mezz or something like that ?

I was thinkin' that the Players HXT shaft is a true LD shaft... If not what's the option if you want to play with a LD shaft as your 1st cue when you start playing ?

55$ shipping from billiardwarehouse, GREAT. Now the problem is that I'm totally confused... 1. Is a Schmelke a better cue than a Players? 2. Is a LD shaft better than an solid maple? 3. Is it better to have a break cue even if I don't play more than 10 hours a week?

With the 25% customs fees on the price of merchandise plus shipping cost it get high fast!

Honestly a Schmelke is what appeals me the most but since I'm in France the shipping cost with the customs would be something like 200/250 dollars. Can I break with a LD shaft?

Same for me when I see the price I'm thinkin' ''what the f***''

I hesitate between this two, on the pics the inlays looks like it's real wood but for the price I doubt, have any of you info if it's real wood or just decals? And for the wrap one is irish linen the other one stacked leather, which one best for sweaty hands?

One thing that I don't predict is the shipping cost since I'm in France... So I think I will go for a Players G serie.

I don't understand why LD shaft is so important ? If you learn on a solid maple shaft and stay on it, you learn to compensate when using english no?

Hi, thank you all for all you responses. Like a lot the fact that schmelke are made in US. Like the simple but beautiful models too. I have another question, my hands sweat a lot, what's the best between irish linen and wrapless ?

Hi, I'm fairly new to pool and as an adult I play something like 10 hours a week what I consider recreational playing. I'm lookin' to buy my 1st cue and no so for a budget concern but more because I'm kind of a "take it simple and do your best with what you have" men, I look for a cue to play...
