Cheap Rileys Cue- Worth £5?

[monkey]

Right well i was desperate for a cue and a mate of mine said someone was selling a rileys cue for £5. So i thought i would get it to put me on. Now, it feels and looks much more expensive than that, and it doesent feel 'sticky' like all of the other cheap cues feel. Its smooth on the shot, and im wondering if its actually a decent cue? It is smart extender compatible and here are some pics:

I was also wondering if the cue is actually hand spliced or just cheaply stuck on splices. I have a cheap cue where the splices are stuck on and it looks nothing like that.

Have a look round the rubbery butt bit, you can see all the paint. I got it a good 3 years back and was 15 then. If you need a cue why don't you just save money and unnecesary purchases, for example you've just gone and "wasted" a fiver that you could have saved. On top of that you lost some money i recall whilst playing snooker. Just use club cues for the time being

lol, it feels ok to me. The clubs cues are shocking, the tips are all over the place! It will put me on for now whilst i save up again for a better cue. I spent my money on fishing tackle
