Any snooker players here? Looking to get a decent cue, not sure on all the options?

[Space Monkey]

Hi all,

I want to get myself a nice cue for snooker, for years I've been using a second hand celebrity endorsed cue given to me a long time ago. It's been a fairly nice cue, but it's seen much better days and I've always fancied something a lot better.

I've just started looking around the web for options and there is so much choice so I'd appreciate any input

I know prices range wildly, I don't want the most expensive or the cheap and nasty, so maybe a budget of say £200-300 but less is good as well if it gets me a good cue?

Also any input on the best woods, ie ash vs maple etc also welcome.

Thanks
