Advice on unknown custom cue. Tacio Bautista

[jordan23042000]

Hello, I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm starting to play again after 7 years off and I'm looking to get into a custom cue in the 500 dollar range. i like the looks of this cue but I'm not familiar with the cuemaker. I believe he's from the phillipines but not sure. Any thoughts on this cuemaker and whether or not 500 is a reasonable price? Ty in advance for your help I really appreciate it.

Do you have anything in my budget range that's merry widow, 4 pointer, or sneaky?

Do you by chance have anything in my budget range that's merry widow, 4 pointer, or sneaky? That Russ cue isn't really my style, I appreciate the offer though

Not for 500$.
I have a 1800$ usd pfd cue that have a cork handle (300$ upgrade). With two full 13mm shafts.

Have a Jessie Bowman for $500 if that's your style.

Nice cue.

Thanks! It's a good player. I heard he passed away. But I'm not sure.

Stryker JB cues were production cues from same factory as Lucasi/Predator.

Jesse had a line of cues made for him by Jacoby after this.

Those unknown makers are tough. I suggest a production cue.

Being open to anything, I think maybe you don't yet know the specifications of a cue that you will feel right with? Hard to justify spending a budget on something you might not actually like.

if you want to try carbon fiber give "rhino" a whirl

the early bottom price point cues ( under $200) are weak with attention to detail, however, the latest line (apprx $300) are a horse of a different color

if your not inclined to try Cf a "Jacoby" MW is worth a look
