Looking for a good bar league cue..that will get beat around. stumbled on schmelke and notice the super low prices..junk?
 
Nothing wrong with a Schmelke. Great cue for the money. Upgrade the tip. Any tip except the one that comes with it.
 
I have seen a couple of them. Looked to be very well built. May be the best bargain in cues today.

Welcome to the forum! :thumbup:

Stumbled on them? They have been around a long time. :smile:

They have a good reputation and you will find some sincere fans around here.

The only ones I have are very old, so I can't comment with personal experience about their current products.

From what I have seen, it's a great option. Get a standard joint and you can easily upgrade the shaft later if you like.

The price? Simply a good value as far as I know.
 
All kind of options with Schmelke cues. I like the hit of their implex joint, they are going to be hard to beat for the price.
 
4 posters called Schmelke a horse. It’s time to saddle up. Get one. Welcome to AZB.

Hell no not junk. Perfect for what you want. I've bought 3 basic sneaky pete's, they are full-splice, good hitting cues. I sold my 1st two to friends that wouldn't take no for an answer when asked if I would sell, so I would just order another. David Schmelke or Kim are great to deal with!

Indeed, I saw that.

Every once in a while we have a long time member that makes their first post after a number of years lurking.

IMHO this is a great community.

I am glad you finally spoke up. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
I have one with a UniLoc that plays great and will
accommodate a REVO

prob the best bang for the buck on low $$ cues and for use as a bar cue - a perfect choice!

if I were to order one I would ask that they not use their standard "Schmelke Cues" logo because imo it's not aesthetically pleasing. They will accommodate this request, btw. :smile:

great company, making quality cues in the USA (Wisconsin) for about 70 years.

Can't go wrong!

best,

Plays the same if not better than a high end McDermott.
I've hit with several and could not say 1 was bad for what they cost!
Better than allot of the cues in their price range.

Not junk at all here are pics of mine.

That is an overlooked fact. Those prized sneakys from top cuemakers in the past often were made from Schmelke blanks.

No doubt. My best sneaky (my travel sneaky, if you will) is from a Schmelke blank built by Sheldon to my exact specs.
