Hello, guys! First of all I want to apologize for my English, I'm from Spain.
Well, now I have a cue which cost me less than 50$, from China of course :grin: (brand: Hansinburg
). Well, I think for this price is a good cue, strait 100%
I've been playing with it for almost 1 year and I think it's time to buy a new one. I was watching the Lucasi Hybrid (looks like they use almost the same technology like Predator), and for about 310$ I can buy Lucasi Hybrid Exotic LHE30, it seems quite Predator IKON2. But apparently, the seller (the only one I found here in Spain) gives the change of the original shaft by a Predator 314-2 for 130$ or OB-1 for about 100$. My friends recommended me to do that, buy a good butt with 314/OB-1 directly. I want to spend about 300-350 $ in total, thus, I'm searching a cue for about $ 200-230 (300-350$ less 130$ the Predator/OB shaft). There are not many to choose from, Lucasi, McDermott, Joss or Pechauer. Here you have a few models that I founded (approx 180-230$, some cues, like Lucase, have a good discount).
- Lucasi L-E30 (almost all Lucasi have Uni-loc joints)
- Lucasi L-E52
- Lucasi L-E54
- Lucasi L-E26
- Pechauer JP-USA (various colors)
- Pechauer JP-01 (various colors)
- Joss 03-01 (various colors)
- McDermott C265/C267 (November 2007 Cue Of The Month)
- McDermott M8-02
- McDermott M8-1A (January 2009 Cue Of The Month)
Whay do you think? Any recommendations? Which butt is better? Or it will be better to stay with the original shaft that comes with the cue? Do you recommend other brand? Personally, I like Schon style, but this cues are too much expensive
Any help will be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance.
PS: if you know a good online shop (apart from ebay) that ships to Europe, would be useful. :wink:
