Man i love this cue. is Model number L-2004NB it came with a used shaft and a brand new one. Both have the unilock shaft design. I played my last game with it last night and it hits better then i could have ever imagined. The butt of the cue is flawless and the Linen wrap is perfect. the cue was 3 weeks old when i bought it and only played with for one week. But it looks like the used shaft could have been from a different Lucasi cause its a lil discolored and the Furell has some chalk stains on it. but the other shaft which im not gonna use anytime soon has never neen used or chalked. I get so much more control with the cue ball then with my Grafite Minnesota fats cue (yea i know its cheap but i got 2 of the same ones, plus it was my first cue and i paid $50 for both). I cant wait till i get back from down the shore this weekend so i can play again with it.
 

Lucasi makes a great cue for the dollar. I love the look of the LE3 model. Simple yet elegant. Enjoy your new cue.

Yes that is a verry nice cue. i like the way they design their cues. they are a lil more likign to my taste then any other brand i have found yet.
 
It does seem the Lucasi is reasonably priced. I dont personally have one but i know a lot of people who love theirs.

Predator makes a shaft that fits the Lucasi, too, if you ever want to go in that direction.

I am glad that you like your new cue.

Just out of curiosity, how is it balanced? Front, mid or back?

My Lucasi was butt heavy when I first got it. Carried it around for a year with very litlle use and was considering trading it off. I took the weight bolt out cut off about 3/4 of it (couldn't take it out completely because the the rubber screws into the end of it).

Last year I got a Lucasi jump/break and though it is a heavy stick it is balanced more evenly than my shooting cue was, but still weighted more in the back.

Laura,

For me personaly i think the cue is balanced really well. i don't like light cues cause i feel i dont have total control over it. it doesn't feel butt heavy at all it seems all the weight is on my cue is at aboutt he last 1/2 of the linen wrap where my hand usualy is. Hope that helps a bit.

Well lastnight i decided to go to the pool hall at around 10PM after getting up at 9 and driving 80 miles to do yard work. Me and 2 friends unloaded 3 medium sized dumptrucks of sandstone into my freinds bosses back yard with 2 wheelbarrels from the front of his driveway. so i was feeling pretty tired at 10pm. But i played the best pool i have played in a while. I played 3 of my friends who work at the pool hall. the first one i played is the best shooter i have seen in person. and he beat me 3 games to 2. then the next one isnt that good of a pool player but he has a strong defence. If he cant make the shot he will leave me with none. I beat him 4 games to 1. then comes Big Lou. Big Lou is just like his name. BIG. hes about 6'5" and over 275. but he is one hell of a pool player. He is the one that helps me with my game. I played him 7 games and he beat me 4 to 3. afterwards he was syaying how he has seen me progress and with a lil more practice i will be just as good or better then Anthony the frist kid i played. I can go on and on about his game and how solid he is all around but i think i said enough.

Chuck.

PS sorry for the lil story i just like talking about pool.
 
I have seen people comparing lucasi to predator and some even say it is poor man predator. It is completely wrong. Lucasi feel every bit as premium if not even more premium than Predator. The weight balances is very different from these 2 brands, predator is more front forward unless changing shaft, and lucasi is more butt heavy.

In the hit and feedback feelings, the lucasi outdone the predator for a great bit. Most predator cues I have had, is too much dampening. The cues feels very dampened in the hand. May be others like it. But I prefer lucasi, despite I started it with predator

I hear people say custime cues is even better. I am not sure which custome cues I should go for next
 
Vincett , that's the question that's as old as time ha ha .

I'd suggest since you have a pool hall close by go check it out and ask around to find out what others like for a cue and maybe they'll let you hit a few balls with it .

A custom cue builder may allow you to test drive there cues also , I'll warn you now that some cues have a definite sweet spot as to what makes them really shine while playing with them .
That once you figure it out it will feel like a extension of you moving the cue ball around effortlessly around the table as if its magic !
 
22yr old thread resurrection. Nice. Lucasi's and Preds are made in the same factory so there's not a lot of diff in construction. Sure they feel different but quality is about the same. I'd rather have a Lucasi any day myself. Never been a Pred fanboy.

Was asking to see what will be a great custom cue upgraded over lucasi as people think of lucasi and predator as mass produced cues and not dedicated as custom. So, custom is a step up, and I wondered what would be considered a stepup.

I have seen many other cuemakers on Facebook too, not sure if it would be a good idea to get them

My lucasi is 22 years and keep going, though it has many dings on it lol. The new line of LP is great, but I want to try out a custom one to feel if they really are better.

Needless to say, Biado played and won the world tournament with predator

A custom won't play any better. Period.
 
True a custom cue won't play much better , however as you well know a custom cue is you're idea put into functionality .
Which in turn can give the owner a slight mental edge in a game that maybe all it takes to pull off the win .
