for less than $50 you can get a players sneaky pete that hits great. ask huey's friend sam (manaole), he shot with one for years and still loves those cues.
Best cue for under 500 bucks. (Sneaky)

The players sneakies are really a good bang for a half a buck, you can't go wrong in the under $100 cue selection...Of course, no guarantees on how long they'll last and the quality isn't going to be as high as a up and coming cuemaker. Good call though, a lot of the players in the local hall shoot with them because they're basically just throwaway sticks.
Well ya know I gotta be honest guys... The cues finish is great (shaft wasn't burnished, but many cue makers leave them like that for owners preference), but the cue is alot more whippy then what I was expecting. The balance point is perfect, and I love the taper and the aesthetics of it.
The "shaft tone" is not nearly what I was expecting. Shaft tone is a really good indicator of how rigid a shaft (or rather how rigid the wood is that's used in the shaft) is going to play. I play with very rigid cues typically (high tone), and this is the most whippy one currently in my case. I'll say it is more rigid then alot of cues out there, but not anything like what I was expecting after reading the rave reviews on here, and after hitting a few balls with my buddies Frey.
I'm probably going to buy another shaft for this one through them to see if there's any difference (I'm thinking I might have got a bum shaft). If that doesn't solve my little problem I'll have a cue maker friend of mine make me up a shaft for it.
