Hello everyone. I have been playing pool since September 2016 casually. I play frequently but just casually. I dont play in a league and I dont play tournaments, but i plan to in the future. I have learned the game very quickly and I continue to progress at an exponential rate. I consider myself a very late stage beginner or an early intermediate, but thats just how I see myself. Can I run out a table, sometimes under optimal conditions.
I am looking to purchase my first cue soon and would like your feedback, which is why I'm here, and probably by the end of this post I may have answered my own quiestion. I mostly play on barboxes at a bar which hosts league game, so I mostly encounter decent players throughout the night. My budget is $1000. I really dont want to purchase a LD cue as I strive to have my game to the point where I can make my own adjustments to compensate for squirt. I was looking at a Schon point blank. I like the style of the cue, the company's reputation from the research ive done, and i like the way the cue hits. My only concern i guess is walking around, into dive bars and such with a thousand dollar cue. I guess I dont want to be "that guy" who thinks hes the Sh!t, when im nowhere near being that good to possess such a fine cue. I was also looking at maybe a mezz, OB, or predator as some of them are less expensive, but I really do want to stay away from LD cues as I dont want to go through the transition period of LD to solid. Thank you for your feedback and time.
Edit..... Thanks for all the feedback. I forgot to mention as I didn't think it was relevant., nor was it may first purchas, or purchase period for that matter . My girlfriend has a pretty nice pool table and the cues that came with it seem pretty (4 cues, 2 pieces, 19-21 ounces) as they are fairly straight and the tips seem pretty decent ( hard tips). Dont ask what type of table, as i don't know, but I'll check. I play with this cue at the bar sometimes. Thought I would disclose tthis information............ On another note...... I've taken great cconsideration from the feedback here and I'm looking into it...... Ive also looked at this cue in the pic.... A pechauer. Any thoughts?
