Re: Pool Cues
i dont know about new cues but i still have three that famous cuemakers made for me.
one is a frank paradise a balabuska made around 1969 and a josh west made by billy stroud. replica of a rambow cue but with ivory joints. needless to say these are cues to die for. but in general the simpler the cue the better it hits.

[/ QUOTE ] You can get a cue for $50 from a broke pool player that will hit as good as anything made, as long as it's kept clean and has a good tip. It's a matter of trying a bunch of them and finding one with the right "feel." When you pay a lot of money for a cue, you are paying for cosmetics.

Re: PS
Here's an idea following up on the sneaky pete idea. Clay at Showcase Billiards in Denver makes sneaky petes for right at 200 I think. I have hit with two of them and both were well balanced and solid. I have never owned one of his cues tho. You also might want to try Bob Frey. He worked with Tim Scruggs for a long time and has made a bunch of sneaky petes. I have never hit with one, but I have heard great things about scruggs sneakys (which he no longer makes) and also frey. If you get a sneaky pete by a custom maker you won't get hurt too bad. You will either have a solid cue you like or something you can sell for I bet at least 75% of the small price you paid for it.
