A friend of mine is looking to get a new cue. He currently plays on a sneaky pete and doesn't want another one.
Best Cue under $250?

Your at the point where you can get into some custom cues. If you want a simple cue you can get one for 250. If he is looking for a fancier cue he will have to go to a production cue. It really depends on what he is looking for. As far as production cues go I always said if you can find a older Lucasi with a radial pin you in business. Lucasi doesn't make cues with a radial pin anymore that I know of.
Find out what he wants and then we will be able to help out more.

Fury - in my opinion.
This is a general ad for Fury Cues.
Fury has come out with over 50 new models - lots of natural wood cues, butterfly splice, full splice, great new inlay designs, sporty looks, etc..
And a lifetime warranty.

Some examples

All of these cues are made to very high standards on state of the art equipment. The wood is properly seasoned for years according to the best practices of cue making. That means it's graded, cut, graded again, allowed to dry naturally, cut again, graded again, allowed to dry and the process is repeated several more times until the wood is just oversized and ready to be used in the assembly of a cue. Every piece of wood used in Fury cues has been carefully selected from the millions of pieces which are stored in the wood warehouse.
As many of you know most good cue makers hang their wood while it's stabilizing. In the Fury wood warehouse you can see hundreds of thousands of shafts and butts hanging in various stages of cutting and drying.
In addition all the cues are cored. In the butt a sleeve of phenolic has been added to further stabilize the butt and make it easy to change weight bolts.
To make it simple, these are GOOD cues. I have been here at the factory for four years and have witnessed some incredible effort to revamp everything in order to put out some damn good cues. That said my five year old Fury RP4 plays great and is still perfectly straight. So they were building good cues when I first started helping Fury in 2003 and now they are building great cues in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, these are still production cues not one-off customs. I love my custom cues and I have a Jensen, Tim Scruggs, Mike Stacey, Jacob Grosshuesch (JG), and a Varney. All of which play great.
What I am saying is that the new Fury cues are a LOT of cue for the money and if you are tight on money and you want a lot of cue for it then check out the new ones. Getting a tiger maple plain jane with a grade A shaft and silky smooth pressed irish linen for around $200 is flat out stealing in my opinion.
Thanks for your time.

I asked him some questions when he first brought it up and he doesn't need it to be overly fancy but he wanted it to be obvious it wasn't a house cue. That's all I got out of him, which is why I am asking the public of AZ for help on this one haha.
I agree with the Dale Perry via ebay. Got mine for 120 plus shipping and weight, shaft size, etc to your specs.
You can get a plain jane American made Pechauer cue for $250.00.
I have one and they look great and play great.

Check out some Lucasi's. Some come with stock LD shafts too, and use similar technology to Predator's (same owners/factories). I think the most important thing in buying a player is that you like how it hits.
Here's a recommendation for Allen Hopkins' Triniti Cues:

Great cues for the money for sure! (And yep, I own one.)

Dale Perry
Dale Perry cues were worth the starting price of $1800 when he was selling custom 1/1 signed cues..I just picked one up,,one of a kind for $400 with 2 shafts made to my specs..it hits like a truck. For the money you cant beat what he's putting on eBay in terms of quality. Amazing Cues with AAAA Killer Maple..Birdseye Maple..Cocobolo..UNBELIEVABLE quality for that price..custom one of a kind signed 1/1 cue for $400 and under..I've seen some nice ones go for $150.00. Just type "Dale Perry Cues" on ebay and you will see how low the starting prices are.
