DP cues play pretty decent.
The steel collared models feel to have a bit more authority.
For a production level cue I'd say the stage IV shaft is much nicer than some other production brands.
Any time someone comes in my local pool room with production cue I haven't shot with I'll ask to hit a few.
You can have your pick of any model you please for about $137 including shipping on eBay.
I have only seen a sneaky pete model on there 1 time though. The upgrade models are a nice option with points and inlay for a seriously competitive price.
Hope I was of some use.
