For the money i have to say that i really like mastercraft and Craftsman cues . For £150 you will have a cracking cue and well worth the money .

yes both good value for money makes.

my question is tho these 400-500 pound cues are they worth the coin you have to shell out for them??

in the case of some of them - trevor white dave coutts etc yes they are worth the money.

I used to hold my cue right at end but then I got a longer cue and it cocked me up for a bit. I kept defaulting to holding at end even thought cue was an inch longer and I didn't need to. Got used to it and actually another cue on from then now.

8.5 - 9.5 is probably best.
Less than 8 is probably daft. My mate with the 7mm tip broke his old cue at the ferrule 3 times.

tbh if i played with a 7mm would need a break cue as i would break it sooner or later with the break i have lol

i paid 150 with a tip pick thing happy with cue just need to take at least .7mm off the tip as its 2 big

[ADR147]

0.7mm - very funny.

[Acrowot]

Yes loopy, I had same prob and do not use facebook.

Ian, have you tried a tip that big? It seems to me that most players use approx 10mm, but blokes on the forum are the ones that seem to think smaller is better.
When I was playing regularly, the top players usually used 10mm and bigger and and have been told that most of todays pros use 10mm.
