Hello everyone.. I'm brand new here and I bought a crappy table from a relative and have finally finished redoing the entire thing. Now i'm in need a a cheap cue for me. I'm not looking to spend more then $150 because i'm not that good and i'm sure i'll just beat it up. I'm new to brands and everything so all your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
There just isn't that much out there for 150. I would look around for a nice set of house cues for that money.
 
That's a really tight budget for a cue. I'd suggest Players cues as they are cheap and have good quality
 
Dude, it's a no brainer. Buy a Schmelke cue.

You can get a Sneaky Pete with Rosewood for $99, or Cocobolo for $119, or a bacote for $105.... How you gonna beat that ??

They are made in Wisconsin by a family that cares about customer service and been selling their cue blanks for decades to other cue makers. Quality has never been in question for these guys....

I just checked Billiards Warehouse. If you wanna a few diamond inlays you can get a nice one for $159. Where else you gonna get this type of quality for under $150 and as a bonus, they are made in the USA.....
 
I have a Schmelke 4 point purple heart sneaky. Called them over the phone and ordered it for $119 shipped. They added phenolic joint collars, the length of pro taper, the tip, the joint pin, the weight, and length I wanted for free ( maybe I was lucky? ).

Great advice.

Buy used.

The Huebler would be great. There are Hueblers for sale in the forum right now for that kind of money.

Also, old McDermotts...great cues.

You can even get a plain jane JOSS a few years old for that money if you wait around a little.


There are in fact many great options if you go used.


Seriously, think about it. We're talking a whole cue for the same money as a decent (new) shaft.

There are plenty of cues in the $60 to $150 range. Since you know almost nothing about them, and since your game can adjust to the cue, just do some reserach on hte internet and buy one that you like the looks of. Also visit stores in your area to see them in person and perform a few strokes to see if you hand like it.
 
Home table

If it's to play on your home table you do not need to buy a two piece cue.
Hell, within your budget you can purchase a hand full of Dufferins with weights range from 18-20 ounces.
 
Dufferin or Schmelke.

I'd get a Dufferin sneaky and put a half way decent tip on it and bam. Good to go. You'll have way more left over.
 
A Dale Perry cue on eBay, you will be pleasantly surprised. Solid cues from a once well respected cuemaker
