Okay, so you made your choice, and purchased a cue? So what did you get? Just curious. If you are a beginner (and just starting to play and learn pool), then I am sure you will be happy with the hit of what ever your ordered. I think that the more experienced players are the only ones that need a certain type of hit and feel of a cue (like a certain weight, a certain balance point from the butt end, and a certain length, like 58 inches is standard, but I actually like a longer cue like 59 60 and even 61 inches that I have used in the past). Sorry mods for all of the bumps.
