    Definately playing well, of course! Is the problem of peradon's sticking an issue which has affected many of you? To be honest i think that all i'm after is something to set me in the right direction - a cue that's decent enough to last a year or so as i progress my game. I don't think i'm after anything fancy, more of a beginners cue which i can use to get a feel for my game etc etc, hence wanting to spend a little amount of money on a first proper cue.

      then just get something like this

      http://www.craftsmancues.com/acatalo...ard_range.html

      oh and yeah about the peradons, as I said they are nice looking and good playing pieces of wood, but in time they get too sticky! this is due to a laquer they put on which ruins the whole concept.

      if i were you mate, i would get th craftsman..cant go wrong form what ive heard and played with.

            The Craftsman cue from the link given 2 posts above is £145 compared to the peradon Balmoral cue at £72 from newitts.com i.e. less than half the price. If its a beginner/intermediate cue, its gonna be a hell of a lot better than the club cues, and comes with a butt end joint.

              I also had a Peradon Joe Davis 3/4 as my first cue. I was quite happy up to the moment i had the chance to play with some real good cues.

              The Peradon had a balance point at 12" so was very heavy in the butt. And it was of course sticky.

              So i tried to save some money in the beginning but that money was wasted. At the end it was expensive.

              I found the cues of Welsh Pool trading at 120,-- GBP

              I have not touched the cues but they look quite OK for the money.
              Maybe some mebers have experience with that cues?
              I am confused... Oh wait... Maybe I'm not...
