Anyone here are regular pool players?
have been playing for a long time but have never thought i would need to get my own cue, has always used house cues or friend's cues. but now i think its time for me to not be so cheap and get myself a cue


also, since my friends for some reason i don't know made me captain for this years APA league


all team members has their own cue except for the captain, what kind of team is that?

i am not really a hardcore player so may looking at a below $300 cue stick,
any recommendations? have been looking at mcdermott and poison only, predator is out of question with its pricing.
so, go on, lets hear some ideas.
and if any DFW members sees this thread, any place in this area when i can go buy? i have only been to Hawley's but they seem really out of stock
**well, i finally bought my first cue


pics are as below.
its the McDermott Assassin with the Predator 314-2 shaft.
i really like the feel and how it gives the feedback. it was really a steal. it was cue of the month for June 2008. the only thing i dont' really like about it though is the graphics, but not really that bad though cause its not those really flashy and colorful cues. MSRP is $399 and i only bought it for $175 and a case included. well i guess that's money well spent**
