i've been playing pool for a few years now and i've decided to finally get a cue. i've had a few but they are all pretty cheap (40bucks). i've searched and have found this cue among most to be what i am looking for. what do you all think?

i'm not too terribly sure if this is the right section of the forum to be asking this if it isn't, please pardon the error.

If $200 is about your price range and you like dark cues, I think this would be a better cue to get:

or the L-E40 cue.

check out this cue at a great price from a good az-er:

FWIW... McDermott does have one of the best warranties in the industry (includes warping). So, a $200 investment in a McD can really go a long way. Ultimately, only you can decide which cue is best for you though. I am sure you'll find something that suits you.

Here is the link to their "competitor series" page in case you are interested.

Good luck,

Another one you might want to consider is the lucasi L-ER. I believe its the only cue Lucasi makes with a radial pin. Has a flat faced wood to wood joint and is a very nice hitting cue.

That still leaves you with money to put a different tip on if you choose to.

Happy hunting

Don't buy any cue that says 'ebony overlay' LOLz

I think you can pick up a Shurtz for $300. Dukeboy had one for sale but he wants full price. You may get him to knock off a few. Look into RAT cues from Mueller.

Am not a fan of unilock for a player.
