What cue should I get?

[thekingbasil]

Hi

I am looking to buy my first "decent" cue but I am very unsure which one to get. I have about £100 to spend, what brands would you recommend? My previous cues have been from JJB and those sort of shops, so I feel a bit out of my depth. I live in South Yorkshire if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would save up a little more and pay a visit to Craftsman in Kippex . That way you will have pleny of cues to try to see which ones you like best .

Thankyou for the advice. How much is a little more? I dont really have too much more to spend!

[hotpot]

£40-£50 . I know it sound a lot but personally i would wait and save that little extra it will be worth it as there is nothing like going and trying them out .

Thankyou. Do they have a table there for trying them out then? I play about twice a week but im fed up with club cues , so the extra money would be well worth it for a more enjoyable game.

Yes they have a full size tablethere to try them out . Where you are located for me this is a no brainer , this is you,re best option by far .

I know a few members here that have been there and they all speak highly .

I need a 58 inch cue I think so that would be too short, also I would like to play with a cue before spending money on it, so im looking for a shop with a practice table. Thankyou anyway though

Yes he has a great selection . I bought one there recently , a bit expensive but well worth a look .

No problem mate.
I believe Martin Chesworth of Chesworthcues is based in south Yorkshire in Sheffield.
He stocks Mastercues,Peradon,Adam,Omins cues all of them are close to your budget.
Hope that helps.

Thanks I think a combination of the two shops will help me make my decision. Thanks a lot for your help
