Are the minnesota fats Professional Maple Cue Sticks any good?

Question

They are sold at d**k's for $70-120, the listed "features" on one are- * Maple construction

* Finished wood grip

* Stainless steel joint

* 13 mm tip with professional taper

* Fiber ferrule with LePro leather tip

* Interchangeable weight bolts available separately (allows adjustability from 19-21 oz)

* Length: 58 in

if not, what is a good cue for around $100, this will be my first "decent" cue and I have no intention of making it a $250+ purchase.

Answer 1

I would recommend one of the low end viking or mc dermott cues over the fatts cue. They are much better made and will probably play a lot better. You can pick one up for right around a hundred bucks or maybe even less if you shop around a little. I would also get a hard case for it. Those nylon cases just don't provide enough protection. You can get a hard tube case at wal mart for around ten bucks.The last i knew viking and mc dermotts both came with a warranty. You probably won't get that with the fatts cue. Just my opinion but i think you'd be a lot better off even if you have to spend another 20 or 25 bucks.

Answer 2

Honestly...No.  Fatt's cues are cheaply made and one who knows about cues can just look at them and tell.  Their is nothing wrong with starting out with low-end cues...obviously most of us started out that way, but if i were u, i'd look 2 c if i could find a used Falcon or even Mcdermott.  I have two custom cues and i love em but you'll definately spend more than a bill for them.  Good luck.
