Give me advice what to choose.

I've played snooker myself a few times. I'm a total beginner, so maybe I'm wrong, but my opinion is that it doesn't really matter with what kind of cue you play and how much it costs. I think if you're a good player, you can play with any cue if its just not a completely crooked piece of wood with crappy tip.

Maybe just the weight is what makes difference...

Its not exactly like that..I have tried many expensive cues in the past and i finally found one with which i made about 30 centuries in the lineup in just two months..And i had just 10 in my whole career before this cue..

So I'm going to buy a new cue but i can't give a huge amount of money on it.
My choice is Peradon 3/4 but which model
So is there difference between Lazer and Royal
Somebody has one oh them ?
And if you could offer me other cues I'll ne thankful for the opinion.
Thanks in advance!

Any cue which is straight and has a decent tip on will serve you well. I have had a Peradon cue in the past and was pleased with it. I myself now use a 147 Craftsman cue which was hand built by them. I can certainly recommend Craftsman Cues as the service was unparalleled in my opinion. If you want a Machine spliced cue they start at £55+pp but if you want a hand spliced cue made to your specification then they start from £110. Again this is just my opinion and there are many other cue manufactures out there who build great cues.

Hmmmm
If I didn't know what I was on about I might keep my opinion to myself!
Having said that there's a little truth in this but having a good cue isn't the be all and end all.
If you're used to a new £20 Riley or BCE and then you got a Royal you'd know wjere the money went and the Royal might do you for life.
I think it is good to have as good a cue as you can get a idealy try them first. Which isn't easy if your outside the UK.
I used to have a Peradon they're alright. Generally I would say for go for Craftsman for a middle budget. £90 for a handspliced Royal isn't too bad though really. I don't care fot the finish on Peradons either but each to his own.
Never seen a Lazer.
Not going to go out of my way to.

Thanks everyone today i ordered the Royal one...

I'm not a very good player and actually I mu current cue is 20 GBP Riley and the Peradon one is for my skill level. May be in the future I'll spend bigger budget for a hand made one.

I admire all the replay's you've made
So the topic can be locked and specially thanks to Andrew Ramsey for the help...

[ADR147]

i hope you haven't ordered one directly because i get a good discount on them!

[fleurdelis]

No the man who made the order is a dealer of peradon for Bulagria and he is good friend of mine so he has a nice discount too. But thanks.

[ADR147]

ok - remember to ask for an oil finish.

[fleurdelis]

Shame on me but what's an oil finish ?

[Watford]

It means it doesn't have any varish on it!
Very good advice that. One of the biggest downsides of off the shelf Peradons is the laquer on the Butt.

If you get decent oil finished Royal it could last you a life time.

[fleurdelis]

Today i talked with my friend who makes the order and he said that they will make an oil finish on my cue. Does this means that the shaft will be smoother ?

[Harv]

I had a peradon like the second one shown, great cue. The finish is not too great but i had mine redone anyway so that wasn't an issue
