Well i'm a newbie around here so please be gentle.
Basically i've got around £100 to spend on a cue, well that can be stretched but not alot!!
I've noticed these cues, the panther and the B32, basically what's the opinion in them.

Also are cuecraft any good, there only 20 mins from me and hopefully they'll have the facilities for try before you buy.

Also what is it i'm after? 1 piece, 2 piece or 3/4 split?

It will be mainly used for snooker but it will also be used for pool, is this ok?

Cheers John

craftsman cues are very good and are the best value for money around.
had a panther cue for some years till it was stolen.
dave brown at craftsman makes some great cues

You can't go wrong with a craftsman - excellent quality and value for money. Where abouts are you from?
