Unfortunately the only " try before you buy " options I know of are a) Craftsmans at Kippax , b) Chesworths at Sheffield & c) Green Baize at Thornaby , all of the aforesaid are in the North. Craftsmans have 150+ cues on display and an 8 ball and a snooker table to try your cue out.I have been there , taken 12 or so cues out of the racks and broke and played frames with each one before choosing a purchase.As long as you are not " extracting it " Dave and Simon are happy to let you " try before you buy". It might be worth the journey.ADR has more cues than are in his e-bay shop e.g. he had some ebony free Cue Craft cues ,pool spec for sale in 3/4 and one piece, why not ask him if he has any left ( £50 specials) if the cue is not perfect for your needs you would still have £100 out of your original budget for alterations e.g. weight or ferrule change and jointing.There is another alternative , some pool and snooker halls sell second hand (ex-members ) or new cues, why not see whats available locally, worth a shot and you get to see and handle the cue first.

I'm totally agree with you.You'r 100% good here that ADR has more cues than are in his e-bay shop e.g. he had some ebony free Cue Craft cues ,pool spec for sale in 3/4 and one piece.

just find a decent snooker cue and take it somewhere like craftsmans and take it down to around 8/9 mil no need to spend silly money, its doesnt cost much to take a cue down
