Ok guys I got one more question before I buy my cue next week.. I went to dallas today and I looked at cues. I am going to show you guys 3 types of cues and differnt models. If you could please tell me what you think. You can reply or E-Mail me at Alexb00@aol.com. The choices are Balabushkam, Schon, or predator. ( sorry you might have to copy and paste the site) Thanks!

Schon- ( model 1,2,3, or 4 )

Predator- ( model 3k1 and 3k2)

Balabushkam- ( model Gb1, Gb 19, Gb 20 )

Why would you care what anyone else thinks? Or why would you let someone else's opinion be the determining factor?

You are the one who will have to play with it every day and have to look at it every day.

If you can't make a decision as to which one you like. Which one feels best for you. Then don't buy any.

If you want to know which one you can buy for me, then just buy me the most exensive one.

Jjinfla, I am not basing my decision on what people say I am just asking ur opinion. I might as well ask other people what they think since I am waiting a week hu? I am just askin whitch one would you buy if you had to get one of these
 
There is no other

Predator is the ONLY cue I ever recommend. It is the best cue on the market bar none.
 
Hustler08, if I had to pick from the three choices, I'd go for the Balabushka. They have a solid hit, and I played my best pool with a Balabushka.

Its not a real balabushka though, its a richard helmstetter with George's signature on it. They are not good cues at all.

Go for the Schon STL-3. I've seen all 4 you like, and the STL-3 looks best.
Balabuska GB-1 would be my second choice.
Discard the Predator. They are all hype products.

Comments like this really make me smile because that means there is on less player out there with a quality cue. How anyone can say they are hype when the technology has been proven is beyond me. I prefer to listen to years of research and science rather than someone's biased opinion.
 
Comparing a Pred to the other two is like comparing a Ford to A cadillic and mercedes.

For name dropping nothing beat a balabushka. But if you have one you can forget about ever getting a spot again.

Not sure how those Buska/Helmst/Stambolini knock offs got in the same thread as Predator or Schon, but if you want a Schon at a good price email me.

Either one of those are good cues....Predator or Schon!!

My first cue was a Viking, the second cue was the Schon STL-3. I liked the forward balance feel on the STL-3 more than the Viking. I've since sold both of them and now have a custom Dan Dishaw cue. Expensive, yes but worth it.

You gotta make your own choice on how it feels to you. Balance, hit, and feed back.

Lots of luck.
