Let me know what you guys have, I have a buddy on league looking for something and I told him I would help him out. Preferrably under $100 but I know how it is :). Thanks Guys and Gals!

If I had to pick a cue for $100 or under I would try and get a used custom sneaky. You can't get much for $100. A Lucasi for $100 would be ok, Players sneaky for $40, or maybe even go to eBay and look for one of those el cheapo cues that now have the 3/8-11 pin like a Kaiser. My judgment on these for $100 and under is purely on how they play for the little bit of money. Elite makes a wrapless plain jane with a radial pin and you can pick them up for around $130. Good hitting cue and you can't beat the $130 for the hit.
 
I am just doing this as a favor and dont know much about cheaper cues... I appreciate it Nine Ball! Only thing I am worried about with the cheap Sneakies on Ebay is if they roll straight.

Most sellers offer a return. He could also go to any pool room and pick one up for around $70 if they sell cues. Best price for the sneaky is eBay. and honestly the Players sneaky does have a good hit. When I was going around knocking off all the bar table tourns here I bought one from a buddy for $40 to use at these places. It's a Players but it hit good for a sneaky.
 
I bought an old school dufferin w/ a cheap case off ebay for 28 bucks. It has the weird aluminum joint with the pin on the shaft. But for 30 bucks i couldn't ask for a better cue. I use it when I don't want to take out my nicer cues, for whatever reason... my first cue was a players sneaky, and Id take the dufferin over that hands down. My 2nd cue was a viking, and I'd probably still take the dufferin. I used to have 2 predators, a sneaky and a 5K3, and I'd still take the Dufferin over the predators. JMHO, tho... to each their own.

I think Dom is a great value!

Dom makes a great cue for the money!

Your looking at a $100 less shipping it's really $80 and change....you couldn't get me to turn a piece of wood and cut it in half, yadadaya, for this money!

:rolleyes:

I found one of those in a pawn shop for $10 and it rolls straight. It was the only cue they had that was straight. I haven't swapped it for my Schon, but it does play pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised.

I have a Lucasi L-E28 and a Lucasi L-2000JB for sale. Both are in superb condition. No dings or scratches.

I'll throw in a well-used (but still in decent shape) leather Bentley 3x7 case, joint protectors for both cues and a set of weight bolts for $325.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures.

Thats about $225 over my budget. Hence the title Looking for a decent hitting cue for under $100

Thanks though!
