Audio-Concepts Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Depending on your budget. There are too many choices. Here are a few in a lower range but great quality. McDermott Pechaur (sneaky pete) Viking Meucci Schon Joss Schuler For your skill level Id recommend either Viking or McDermott. you can spend $100-200 and be ok!

Audio-Concepts Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ok thank you! Maybe I'll play better A cue will help...but a nice straight house cue does the same. But finding the latter is always a mission. I started with McDermotts, then bought a Meucci and after about 10 years I had a cue custom made to my liking...from inlays of ivory, different woods like birdseye maple and cherry, onyx, mother of pearl etc. But after playing for 15 years walking into a pool hall trying to hustle with a $3500 cue made things interesting, and almost never happened. I ended up buying a brand new house cue...took it home removed the tip and farell, removed the weights, set it up on a lathe and smoothed and narrowed the shaft...shortened the farell to an 1/8th in re-tipped it, weighted it to my liking, repainted it to look like a house cue and no one ever knew it had be specifically built to my liking. I brought that cue to the pool hall where I was a semi pro and used it to set up small $$$ games until I found the gullable bastard to play for real cash, then brought out my Schuler! Damn I miss those days. Pioneer AVH480 Zapco ST5XII amplifier Stevens Audio 6.5" components (passive) Onyx Subwoofer Sky High OFC wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio-Concepts Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Lol sure sounds like you where pretty good! My only issue is setting up my other shots, still trying to get that down good while still learning, use straight shots, dont try and put english until you have learned shot control i.e. speed and angles. once you have that then remember and forward english the object ball will have opposite spin.

I usually shot with with red dot shafts. I used a 24oz Mcdermott jump/break cue as well, I could snap the 9 or 8 about 1 in 5 tries!

finkster Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pool is my life. I used to get over 25 hours of practice a week. There are some good cues recommended earlier. I actually have both a Pechaur and a Mcdermott and I love them both. Nothing to do but practice and motivate yourself to get better, and always play against someone better.
