I need someone like God, Iam way over my head.........

Congrats on buying your first cue! Here's my two-cents -> if you plan on playing more than just casually, hit with as many cues as you can and save up a little more money in the meantime. Not that an inexpensive cue will play bad, but in my experience, you will want to upgrade to a different cue after you learn what fits your style. Unless you know that you like a 5/16X14 vs a 3/8X10 pin, or a maple shaft vs. a laminated shaft, it might be prudent to experiment with everything in sight before you spend any hard earned cash.

After you know what you like, you can get a great playing (used) custom or (new) production cue around $200, and you won't regret it.

Ok... how many of those cues have you hit with!?!?!

I've only bought a single cue, and I can say that hitting with about 10 different ones before deciding on this one made all the difference in the world.

I can't imagine what I would have ended up with had I not shot with many, definatly not the fine cue I have now!!!!!
 
Looks Like You're in the $100.00 Range

All of those cues look real nice and the price seems inexpensive enough.

I was just at beadsandbilliards.com, and they are less expensive than billiards warehouse. They'll also throw in a soft case with the cue.

I've done business with them a couple times and the service was great. They sent me a promotional code worth 10% off your purchase. it is "SPECIAL10".
If it was me I'd spend a few dollars more and get a low end McDermott. I picked mine up for $144. with free shipping and a hard case. With the extra 10% you'd get it for $130.00

Balance is great, and so is the hit.....I was very happy with it as my first cue.....


My Dad used to say "Buy quality and you won't be disappointed"
