I've always liked his SP's. How's it play?

It plays beautifully, my game has improved 5 fold since I started using this. not all due to the cue as I am still fairly new to the game heh, but I am most positive that it has helped to no end.

Is this your first cue? If not, what have you owned before this one?

I like to think of this as my first cue, I had a really bad cue I got from sports authority for like $20 which played decently for about the first month, after that it got really bad. So yea, this is my first cue ... definately not my last though :D

Not to worry friend. I think there's alot of us out there who had the same cue you had at first. This is a better move for you. I like to think of your FIRST cue as special. You'll always remember it. It's your learning tool. This is your constant variable. Get used to the cue and watch your game jump to the next level. Congrats BoBB!

Isn't it surprising how a $40 cue could be someone's favorite over a $500 cue?

I remember fondly my own first cue, an Imperial with an 11mm shaft and barber-pole style two tone wrap. The local hustlers used to get really pissed off when I beat them with it.

Just what i'm talking about. It's not how glitzy your BLING is, it's how well you play with it. Sometimes, it's how long it'll last, or how well you take care of it.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I have cues that are worth over $600, maybe more. However, I've never payed more than $200 for a cue. NEVER! I still have some $20 cues that I might consider playing with cause I like the way they play. And I'm not a huge fan of predator shafts, so I can only save more money! :D
