Looking for The Perfect Pool Cue for Me

When I was looking for the perfect pool cue for me I struggled trying to find anyone that was anything other than a salesman. They all seemed to fit me into their best grossing items rather than focusing on what I really needed. I was say I need a pool cue that has a firm hit. Then they start talking about this new Meucci cue they just got in. Anyone that has shot with a Meucci knows they are a softer hit and have a lot of wobble in the hit with that red dot shaft.

I got to the next store and same thing. I get talked into some nice looking cue for $700 and I have hit with it before. It is not what I’m looking for. What I end up having to do is spend money playing with everything under the sun. I played with a Players Pool Cue from Shooters Billiard Supply http://www.shootersbilliardsupply.com/players-pool-cues before I end up settling in a Viking Pool Cue called the Two Feather Anasazi http://www.shootersbilliardsupply.com/viking-two-feather-anasazi-pool-cue. Now this pool cue hits like a dream. It has the firm hit and absolute low deflection. I can hit straight down table and stop shot the cue ball with ease. It is exactly what I was looking for. The art work is unmatched. The wrap is a comfortable leather wrap. Many intricate inlays decorate the cue. I have used it for six months now. I got the 11 out of 150 that will be made. I get constant complements from fellow players on the looks, feel, and hit. I will be using this cue for the foreseeable future. Thanks to Shooters for knowing what I needed and selling it at a reasonable price compared to other sites. I saved $225 by buying it from them.

I hope this helps some folks out there who are having the same issues I did finding the right cue. It is important to spend our money on what we need rather than just being sold something from a sales guy that most likely does not even play pool. The guys at Shooters are all league and tournament players. Once I opened up about what I was really needing they put me onto the right cue.
 
Your issue was looking for a cue you may like in a store where you really can't try things or talk to those that are into cues much often. Talk to people at pool halls. Just about any pool room will have at least a couple of cue nuts that have tried a dozen or more cues and another dozen shafts with them. Those are the ones you want to talk to, and they are likely to offer you a few games with a cue to see if you like it. Everyone is proud about their equipment and the magic hit or some cue maker they found that is not well known, which translates to being very chatty about the equipment and easy willingness to show you how nice it is.
 
I'd agree but I found those guys at Shooters to be cue knowledgeable. They did end up putting a solid cue in my hands that I now love. I just had to open up and tell them what I wanted/was looking for in a cue. I'd agree I been better off asking to play with different cues in pool halls. I just guess I got lucky with these guys being players. you can find them at www.shootersbilliardsupply.com.
