mike is a really great choice. - a bargin
Ask Earl Strickland how he like's his cue???? Spend as much as you can afford. Personally a custom cue will last your life time(anything from Mike does- lets not forget the great Player - mike was!!!!!!!! He Patented- things too( so a Pool inventor of sorts. There are a thousand over-production cues- what Joss and what Schon models Does dad Have(???)- Tell dad you'll just get New shafts - If you prefer the ld stuff- there are many options. (think ferrules shafts as well,think solid shafts ,even Mcdermott I shafts are good. New isn't always better than old- You can get the ld shaft from old shaftwood too !!- pm me I can help ( friend sells whole sale- can get you great prices-wholesale. get something that you will be proud to playwith for yrs. You will notice much more spending like 1000-1,200. az has many cues too choose from -what helps is what style do you use ,stroke ,balance ,roll shots ,bank,- what do you want to compete at (which games). thanks in advance- mark
