This is a very subjective question. Nobody is going to agree on what is the "best" cue stick or even what makes one cue stick better than another. It's rarely a matter of price, although up to a certain point, you will get what you pay for. Below $100 and you're likely playing with a Wal-Mart special. Anything you pay beyond $500 is likely due to a cue's collectibility and expensive materials. I'm guilty of being in the second category due to the collectibility of my cue. If a person understands enough about cues, then it becomes clear that the best playing cue in the world is a straight, one-piece house cue with a properly rounded tip, probably retailing for around $25. Of course, it just isn't practical to carry a 58" cue around with you. There are many factors to take into consideration when selecting a cue. If this is your first cue, don't spend a fortune on it. The reason being, that you probably don't know what you like in a cue and you'll be getting another one before too long. For me, the third time was the charm. My first cue was a McDermott, the second was a Viking, and now I play with a Ray Schuler custom cue. It took me time to find what I really wanted in a cue and what makes one cue superior to another. I don't especially like to endorse specific products publicly as it causes so much debate, so I'll leave it at that. Best of luck. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
