Does anyone have recommendations for an entry/mid level low deflection cue? I’m having my first table set up in my home early next week, hello like to have something a little nicer than the house cues it came with so I can learn to play with English, etc.
Take any cheap cue and with 150 grit, redo the taper. Work vertically on the back/fat part of the shaft. Use only enough pressure to make saw dust. Keep rotating the stick until the taper approaches cylindrical. Hit balls at different stages. You may find the increased flex to your liking.

You're setting up a home table. Just get a few regular cues,
unless you want to get numerous LD cues.
What are yo gonna do, use one particular LD cue then
let your guests use "lessor cues?
Get some basic McDermotts or Schmelke Sneaky's then just enjoy the game.
If you feel froggy, grab a Sneaky and a piece of chalk and go to
your nearest bar and kick some ass. It's just that simple!
(you ain't a pro is ya?)
Definitely not a pro, just looking to improve my game. I think I’d just use it while practicing, then use regular house cues when I’m playing with guests.
One of these is all you need. Don't worry about all the fancy stuff. I'd get the 12.5 mm shaft.

For another $20 you can buy this and keep your money in the USA.

DON'T DO THIS
Wtf would you suggest this?

It would probably make quicker work and you could even skip a couple stages using a sawzall. Have a friend hang the shaft off the rail and spin it like hell as you turn the shaft down with the sawzall. Definitely go with the grain of the wood.
Edit: You never know these days, so just in case, I was only joking. Don't do this. lol
