Try the LePro first.I really appreciate all of the feedback and recommendations. Looking at tips, when I buy the cue should I upgrade right from the start? The Players comes with a Le Pro leather tip the Schmelke with an Elk Master Soft Tip.

Agreed, the Le Pro is a perfectly fine tip.Try the LePro first.
Most cues are similar. Price is usually determined with the details of the butt. Go somewhere that will allow you to try out what they have and find what's right for you. If it's a decent price get it. If not shop it on lineWe finally have the space to add a decent pool table and would like to find a solid first cue. I have a few one piece cues for friends and and some for my kids, but the wife and I both enjoy playing and would like something a little better.
Researched a bunch reviews and manufacturers; thought I found a great cue for the money, a Schmelke Sneaky Pete. After ordering it, I was told it was out of stock. I then stumbled down the rabbit hole of low deflection cues. Now I have no idea which direction to go in.
Can anyone recommend a good cue for between $100-$200?

You can find a lot of cues for under 200.00 that would be great for your first cue Schmelke , Players Sneaky , Adams and a few others. If you live close enough to Philly go the Billiard Expo and you will find a lot of cues for under 200.00 . Sunday you get the best deals plus you can hit a few balls with the cue as well.We finally have the space to add a decent pool table and would like to find a solid first cue.

Player's zebrawood sneaky arrived today. $84 from Seybert's and was shipped in a half decent hard case.I've got the zebra wood, never seen it before and it's noice
Rose and coco are also purdy
Hate to sound like a broken record but the Players sneaky Pete is dang gone near perfect. For the Price of admission I don’t think you could find any better Cue. The looks , Hit and playability far supersede the price. It has been said that Players come from the same factory as Lucasi and Predator cues. If So I understand the Quality being what they are. I love mine.Player's zebrawood sneaky arrived today. $84 from Seybert's and was shipped in a half decent hard case.
Dead nuts straight, seamless joint, perfect LePro tip. Plays better than it looks.
Had to remind myself to take it home, looks that genuine, right down to the uneven points.
Couldn't be more pleased.
Thanks.
I am a big fan of the modern US made Viking Cues, but do not care at all for the imported Valhalla line they sell.Any opinions on the Viking Valhalla cue?
