I broke down yesterday and bought a cheap cue to play with until my Dominiak gets built. So I drove to Lakeland, TN to Billiard Pro Shop (best damned service I've ever had), and looked around for a while.
I was initially going to buy a good $200-$300 cue that would suppress my appetite til the Dom gets shipped, until after inquiring about a table purchase I am planning on making in the near future, I was told that after purchasing a table you get a 50% discount on up to 4 cues.
So I walked around and started feeling out some of the Player cues that he had, just to find something straight to shoot with for a while, and I finally found one I liked and took it home. The gentleman even gave me a 20% discount and a free case to hold my cue
So anyways, playing with it the past two days, I really like the feel of the cue. It hits well, and the length/weight feel very comfortable to me. My only concern is the tip. It's relatively flat
it has a slight octave shape to it, but I'm wondering if it will damage the tip if I take some say 1800 sand paper and shape it up a little?
I've already sanded the shaft down a little with some 3000 grit sand paper to smooth it up a little more
