Thank you for the previous advice on makes of cue and where to buy; it has been very helpful.
My next question is about testing cues prior to buying one, if, like me, you are unsure what specification you want.
The cosmetic element can wait, as, I think, can the tip (diameter, make, hardness) as these can be decided once the main elements are sorted.
A starting point for length seems to be up to my shoulder, so 58"or 59" (I'm about 5'11").
So when I go into a shop and I have several makes/models within my price range and at the right sort of length, how do I choose between cue weight and balance point. I'm sure some cues are heavier but feel lighter due to balance point and vice versa? I'm not sure where to start. Should I concentrate on weight, balance or something else? Thank you.
