Best pool cue brand?

Question

Best pool cue brand?

Answer 1

any top name cue  as long as you can shoot with it it dont have to be a high dollar price tag.. I enter some of the top competitions in the country _ not as much as a i used to but I shoot with a players jump break cue a sneeky pete  about $85  i just changed the tip on it and it was ready to go  I have the exp. ones hanging on the wall  1 Longoni Native has never shot 1 ball

But just so its right for you my point is dont pay a lot for a name you cant pronounce or that I cant spell.

The diff between a stick yuo like and a $10,000 signatuer stick is $9,900 thats bout my 2 points worth

Answer 2

I have had a "Predator" for the past 12 years and really do enjoy the feel of this cue....tried a few before but just the "read" of its theory convinced me that this "shaft-314" would take care of most variables that come with pushing the balls around...check it out on their web site and it should answer most of your questions.....it is widely used by several pro players and in principle should be the perfect cue....but I am sure everyone has its opinion and thus the several answers that you will get......good luck with your selection....you will just have to find out for yourself!

This question comes up frequently and all of the above answers are great.  Anytime you use the word "best" you're guaranteed to get subjective answers.  Everyone answered honestly and based on personal experience.  To tell the truth, my almost ideal cue is a straight 18 oz. one-piece bar cue with a good tip.  When you really understand what makes for a "good" cue, you'll see that it's not all about exotic woods and fancy materials.  A $20 bar cue, will serve me almost as well as my personal cue.  Just for the record, I play with a Ray Schuler custom cue.  The Schuler joint is very unique and best replicates the feel of a solid piece of wood.  Does that make it the best?  Who can say?  That particular feel is very important to me, so of course, I think it is.  It's always going to boil down to personal preference and thorough comparison.  I feel lucky to have found the absolute perfect cue for me.  I honestly don't think I'll ever get another cue.  Maybe I'll get some replacement shafts or a jump/break cue down the line, but I'm covered for my main playing cue.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 4

That is pretty much up to your own "feel" for the Cue. My Personal favorite is the Balabushka . It has a exceptional ballance and "feel" to it that I have not found in other Cues , I get excellent controll of the shot  weather soft or hard and there is very little deflection when striking extream english shots . Many others will say it is Viking , Meucci , Joss , Lucasi , Preditor or anyone of many other top Brands.......

But the BEST pool cue you can get is the one that you can shoot consistantly with . The one that "Feels" right to you and fits your own style of shooting.

Answer 5

I have been fortunate enough to have collected cues for the past 25 years and as such have owned or used many of the "greats".

My personal cue for the past number of years is a Bill Schick(custom cue maker, Shreveport La.)

Answer 6

My Schon Limited is beautiful (as is my husband's) and plays great with a Predator shaft.
