Pool cue recommendations

[MustangPoser]

Okay figured it out almost. Since I don't want a look at me I suck cue I'm going with either:

Used mcdermott m11b ($150) or g series 4 point ($233 new).

You have lost your fucking mind if you think Predator cues hold value. They feel fucking rough on the hit.

Joined wood and spongy glue with cheap cork centers. Over priced pieces of shit.

As opposed to a mcdermott a pred will hold its value
Low deflection shafts do feel different
For value a nice Scruggs, or Gilbert works for me
My mind is intact there pool expert
My predator gets worked weekly and i know some pretty good players locally who agree
Just my opinion

I thought for sure you'd be using the McDermott Intimidator.

Never heard of it.

I play with a Joss with Predator shaft and an old Meucci. Both great shooters.

What is "joined wood"?

I don't know much about cues so just curious...

Nope. Almost all of their butts are joined wood. Just like all of the cheap, china made cues.

OB shafts have the same cork in them. Some of them even have styrofoam in the center.

Any recommendation on a replacement shaft? I prefer a light (18-19oz) cue and use a lot of low english

is thisa recent thing?

I have a Lucasi I picked up for $130 used

I saw a Lucasi today for $109 with a white butt. It said "Lucasi" in plain letters and "309" on the other side. Can't find any info on it... There was a blemish on the butt and the shaft was really blued.. The only search result point to the le14 but the le14 has a black butt: http://www.omegabilliards.com/LUCASI_LE_14_p/le14.htm

Cue

Save money buy Predator, better stick, better resale if you decide.

[Snatch Napkin]

$150? What are you buying, just a shaft???

Not a top shelf shaft.



OP.... You can get into a Player's cue with the HXT shaft for around that. It's a low deflection shaft that is built just like the G-core from McDermott and it comes with a Kamui Black soft tip.

I like Huebler cues. You should be able to find several for about $150. Made in USA.
