    Help buying first cue

    I'm playing in the league because a guy I met in a bowling league invited me. I love pool and had always thought of playing more competitively so I was game. Just turned out that everybody on the team are friends of his/roommates, and they are all pretty much just beginners. I think they've...

    Sorry I fell off. I had a test coming up for a job related certification I had to take so I needed to focus on cramming last minute. I really like the cue, honestly more than I thought I would. It's beautiful with the inlayed wood grains. It plays well. I still don't have many preferences...

    That is correct. Yeah I read some conversations about those shafts and how they aren't really LD. But I've watched video tests of it and it's not terrible. Deflected 1 inch slow, 1.5 medium speed, and 2.5-3 on fast speed. I'm not worried about it. I'm stuck on 7 foot tables at the moment...

    Haha, the funny part about that is that I got started in this league by meeting a guy in a social bowling league who invited me. But yeah, I was getting pretty confused for a while. Ok, so update. I have purchased a cue! I want to thank everybody once again for all the input. I think I...

    Right. I'm aware. I just liked the look is all. At first I was looking to make a purchase as soon as possible, but after I starting digging, that went away. Though I know as soon as I have to play again Tuesday I'm gonna be walking away with a renewed sense of urgency. I've actually since...

    It just went to a blank screen. Yeah its a private group so I had to request access. So that is pending. Those Pechauers I would say are something I'm looking at for sure as a top 3 option at least. Great price for the options I get to pick. I had found those on ebay but without any way of...

    Does anybody know what this is? It looks like a real inlay, has a uniloc joint and he says that it only fits lucasi or predator shafts, but doesn't know what brand... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/757237791715357/ Still for some reason can't make it to the facebook page with...

    Did an ebay search and found these two. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lucasi-Limited-Edition-LUX38-Custom-Pool-Cue-w-Slim-Shaft-FREE-Shipping/114302826269?epid=13034628437&hash=item1a9cfab71d%3Ag%3AHKgAAOSw4wZdk44Q&LH_BIN=1 and...

    Help buying first cue

    Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately, I work 12's on Saturdays. I did actually make it to best quality billiards, but I didn't have long and while they do have a lot of cues, they only have about 4 makes. I shot but honestly was very distracted at the fact that I can't chalk the tip and so...

    Understood. Hey I know ego is the enemy of improvement so I usually try to keep that in check. I don't know how to best describe my abilities. TBH I actually shoot better than the 5's and 6's that I've seen so far in the terms of raw shooting (except I'm still getting my eye back for...

    Help buying first cue

    Haha. Yeah thats not my style. The main reason I'm getting the idea to maybe spend just a little more on one is because my style is just to have one stick that I learn and know inside and out. I also saw the options on Seyberts. I do like that route cause I can get it exactly how I want it...

    Help buying first cue

    This is certainly something I'm considering. The facebook link earlier never popped up for me so I don't know how to find the listing from Michael Littman. Right now my main considerations are either this listing on craigslist... I've messaged him for shaft diameter, weight, and tip...

    Help buying first cue

    Thanks for the input! Yeah I definitely won't. I think no matter what I want to try to The kamui soft just because I heard it wasn't really that soft but on the softer side of medium.

    Ok I'm going to apologize again as I wanted to use a bunch of quotes to respond to everybody since I've received such an overwhelming amount of help and support. So I'll answer some of the things generically since I can't figure that out (so much for a computer science degree huh? lol). Yeah I...

    Hello everybody. First I'd like to say I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong spot. I looked around and couldn't find anything exactly related to noob questions about cues. I'm 33 and have been playing since I was a kid. Several tables in the family. I never played a league until now where a...
