i'm looking for a new or used cue for my brother for Christmas so he'll leave my custom cues alone, lol, he's just learning to play so i'm just a little nervous when he grabs my Phillipe or Scruggs. i can spend up to 300 dollars, any more than that and the wife will probably make me sleep out in the pool room again, maybe thats not a bad idea, anyways if you have one or know of one just let me know. thanks Dan
