Best Value Cues

[jim evans]

Just a thought m8, how do you know what spec cue you require if you're a total beginner. Stephen Hendry was given a powerglide to play with when he was a lad and learned with it and got used to how the cue played and ended up winning six world tiles with it. His parents didn't go to a cue maker with a list of specs.
So many blokes on this forum have a list of specs for a new Parris or MW cue because they know the feel of such a cue because it's close to what they have always used, just want a better quality one or maybe it's just the prestige of owning something expensive.
Truth is that's it's nearly always the cue you learned with that you play best with, so any reasonably well made cue will do to start with as long as it's not made from ramin. Put a bid in for a chinese cue on ebay. I know several blokes in our club who play with such cues and they are really good value and very well made. Buy one, learn with it and it will become your cue.

i agree with steve if your just starting and ant got a clue just pick a cue you can afford and play with it

you would be better off with a rack cue with an oil finish in comparison to the riley, powerglide painted stuff.

you can buy a good cue for less than £200 but i promise you it is totally impossible to buy a good cue for £40

You tell a lie, I bought 2 fantastic cues from Jim Evans for around £40 each and they were truly fantastic! I know what your trying to say :snooker:
