$1000 max, what's your playing cue?

Ok I'll add mine. 500 on a Runde SS SP and 500 on a Searing shaft. Anyone coming to Madison WI can pm to test it out! You guys I'm not kidding Searing is not like the others. I wish I could try a cue rather than just a shaft. Anyone who has please remark! Dennis is not one to ever say he is great, he is constantly trying to improve his craft and would prefer his fans to not promote him so much, he is very humble, and just wants to make the ideal instrument to play the game. I honestly believe he would rather have nobody know he built a cue and just know it plays amazing.
You increase your budget to 1200..
You order the cue below for 100...
You jump in your car, drive to Hartland WI, and
spend the remaining 1100.00 with the guys over at BCM...

I'd get a Mezz sneaky and a predator/ss360 shaft for it.
I know Mezz shafts are some of the most desirable shafts out there but I personally find predators to play better. Im still waiting for my ss360'2 to arrive from the US, will see if it takes the mighty preds place as my main shaft :wink:
Or just get the sneaky and use the rest on lessons, that would be money well spent :wink:

I think I may be happy with any cue that has an ivory joint, ivory ferrule & ultra skin tip
For around a grand, I would buy an old R series Schon like an R6 with a well broke in shaft and Micarta ferrule. For a little more, an Andy Gilbert. For a little less, a newer Schon.
And for the record, I think money is irrelevant when discussing hobbies. I spend what I can afford. It's no different than my non pool playing friends and their hobbies. For an example, a buddy of mine bought a Harley. When he points out my 1500$ piece of lumber, I point out his way more expensive toy. And I get to use my toy more than he gets to use his.

$1k budget........I wouldn't even bother having a cue made and instead use that budget to get the best cue possible thru the resale market......a lot of cue bargains out there.
