After that, I purchased my first snooker cue in May, a $50 one-piece Dufferin at 17oz with a 9.5mm hard tip (later replaced by me with an Elkmaster tip); it warped rather easily and didn't even have a true plastic ferrule, just some painted wood!

The only thing this cue ISN'T great at is the 8-ball/9-ball break, but honestly, for straight pool, the opposite is true (as straight pool's break-off shot is very similar to snooker's).
