Title says it all..
Looking for a nice cue to play with. Only real specifics are standard, 19oz / 58 inches...
Oh and a tip somewhere between 12.5-13mm
Show me what ya got! Thanks!
i have a really old viking with a 3/8x10 pin. its just a plane jane, but a real nice shooter.
Falcon makes a good quality (very nice hitting, in my opinion) cue, and they are made in Canada (so they are not cheaply made Asian imports)
Here is a link to a nice older used Falcon that is ending on ebay in about 22 hours (that you can probably win for under $100).

If you can afford to spend a little more, than you can probably pick up this Joss (that is ending in about 6 hours) for around $150.

They are both great cues, for the money (much better quality than a McDermott lucky cue, or other cheaply made Asian import).
You can always find a good deal on a used cue on ebay.
Just keep checking back on there often.
Good luck finding a cue that you like.

Also there are good deals on new merry widow McDermotts on ebay.
Also check out Schmelke at their site, Shooters Billiards, or Billiard warehouse.

It is just my opinion, but I really hate the very stiff hit of Predator shafts. The OB (OB1, OB2) shafts hit much better, IMO. I think that the OB2 shafts have a 11.75mm tip on them (1mm smaller than the OB1). You can probably find a cheap butt to go with a used OB1 shaft for the price range that you are wanting to spend ($125). I am sure that you would love the hit of OB shafts, but I know that many players love Predator shafts (including the super stiff Predator Z shafts). I really love Universal Smart Shafts too (invented by Bill Stroud).
Buy a Dale Perry cue from him off ebay. He used to make a great cue, so he knows how. The ones on ebay are ok cues for $125-200. Dont buy the hype BS on his listing indicating that the cue retails for $1795 or some crap like that, but i bet you can pick one up for $125.

It's a player! There is nothing wrong with picking up a McD, Player or one of Dale's cues on EBAY but, this Frey will hold it's value now and after you graduate :wink:
