Hi everybody from The Netherlands.
I used to play quite a lot of pool in my 20s (now 37) but at some point stopped.I haven't played seriously for 10 years but now I grabbed my cue again.
I used to play with an Adam cue and some cheaper before. I never went too deep on the different tips, shafts or other technical characteristics of a cue, just practice, practice and some tournaments. The Adam cue is a 20oz with maple shaft and a metal joint. So the cues that I own were left in a case for 10 years. All of the shafts have dents mostly because of former use but still roll straight.They are just a bit annoying when playing cause I can feel them while cueing. So I decided to spend some money on upgrading.
I read a lot about low deflection and though I did't use much english in my play I was wondering if I should start with a LD shaft or maple type? Since I am starting from zero again I was wondering if it is better to start with a LD or a maple since changing later would be more difficult. I am going for a 190z weight.
I have narrowed(?) my choices to these cues:
Lucasi Hybrid Series
Players HXT
Players Rawhide RH
Pechauer JP-N
Pechauer Pro H Sneaky Pete
Pechauer Pool Cue Professional P-G 2
Poison cues with Venom2 shaft
Joss BB-1
Joss 101/201/10-01
Meucci Pool Cue M1
Balabushka GB-1
Katana with LD shaft
Viking Exactshot
Vikng with Vikore shaft
I would like to hear your opinions on which to choose and why. I know of course that there are multiple variables but I am looking for your views regarding playing, build quality, warranty, value for money.Since there are multiple choices it might also help other people with their choice for a new cue
So that's my first post and thanks in advance for your help to a former pool addict.
Cheers...
