Inlay Rosewood
Differ between $50-$75 cue and $200+?
All I ever see when I look at cue listings are Polished stainless steel piloted joint with 5/16x18 pin, 6-point inlays , Rosewood and maple inlays , 5 inlaid matching rings, and fancy stuff like that for low as $50. When I look at $200-$500 cues they say the same thing. Am I just paying extra for a brand name and looks. What is better about a more expensive cue?
sometimes yes, sometimes no. Look at the shaft, is the grain of the wood straight? Look at the ferule, is it flush with the wood like it was all 1 piece, what's it made of? Look at the pin and collar, is it metal, ivory, plastic (could be cheap or good)? is the stick straight? What kind of tip? how well is it assembled?
there are definite fundamental differences between a $50 and a $100 cue, fewer between a $100 and $200, and between a $200 and $2000 fewer still. the more you go up in price the more the differences tend to be cosmetic and less structural. However, as you go from one cue maker to the next there are always differences. Predator users will always toot about low deflection. Me except for my breaks I usually don't hit the ball that hard to make it a big difference. I have a Joss, very soft hitting, Stealth (wood shaft) very hard hitting, Schon, hard hitting, a Diamond, Medium hitting, as well as others. each one favors a different style of play and different game. which I choose to use depends on the game I'm playing how the table is, and how I'm playing that day. A bar table that may be a little out of whack requires harder and faster hits so the balls roll true, a tourny table at a premier establishment I can slow roll and get the job done. The tip makes a difference too, soft tip vs hard vs medium. if you have friends that have their own ask to try them out for a a few shots to see what you like, then work from there. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend one of the less expensive Vikings or McDermotts, you can get these around $100, if you're an 8 or 9 ball player these should suit you quite well. Both are solid hitting. If you favor a softer touch, switch tips off the bat, a Tiger or Talisman medium to start with (keep in mind the softer the tip, the more you'll need to keep it properly shaped especially when it's brand new) you can then see about going to a soft or hard depending on your preference. Moori puts out about the best tip, but if you're just seeing what you like, don't spend that much as a test, wait till you know what hardness of tip you like then go to that. Keep your tip shaped, scuffed and well chalked.
Good luck
