It's peradon £30 from a webby, don't know the name but one of the stock lower models I'm sure for that price. 57", 16oz, 9mm tip, 3/4, 14" butt that weighs 10z, the balance is at 15.5" from the end + i'm 6ft if that matters.
Played a couple of years now and play very regularly in prac/leagues so just curious what you guys think. I can knock in 20/30/40's (latter quite rare though), but my cue ball control is pretty much my weakest aspect when in amongst the balls, also over hitting safeties by miles then doing them perfectly, quite frustrating.
Pretty aware that assuming a better cue will make you better is a stupid thing to assume, but eventually I'll want to buy a nice cue that will last me a lifetime just putting all these thoughts together to decide when to jump ship so to speak, if I should at all?
Anyway, best I can describe playing with it:
One thing I notice is if I play with extreme top/side, the contact is very weird feeling, sounds different, doesn't feel true like hitting center ball. But I don't know if thats related to my cue. Also, it does bend quite extremely when I play a power shot my friends say, is that a bad thing?
I'm fed up with having to keep it smooth also, oils / water + cloths don't help me much so far, just keeps getting sticky every a couple of hours an I know it can put me off (simply by being annoying even, silly subconscious).
Lastly, whenever I play with various cues from people at my club they all seem more comfortable when I'm just cueing with them, like they are more centered or something. I just guess since they are heavier, it might give me the false impression it's not wobbling about as much, but I don't know why they all do. My cue often looks alot thinner in conparison.
Call me a newbie if necessary, or should I give further pause for thought?
