What is the most expensive pool cue?

Answer 1

$85,000

* Added - In 2007 McDermott cues introduced the limited edition Intimidator which has a retail price of $150,000. It is too heavy for regulation play but is truly intimidating, and that price few people would want to use it in regular play.

Answer 2

They can vary from £10-£1000, John Parris are the best, most of the professional snooker players use the, Ronnie O'Sullivan,Neil Robertson ect, they cost alot though.

*Added - The Las Vegas pool cue show had pool cues valued at more than $100,000. However, nearly all of the cues valued at greater than $50,000 are for show and not for regular play. There are many custom cues sold in the US today that cost $10,000 or more and are for regular use.

Answer 3

There is no "best" for the money, as this is subjective. One of the best is Meucci, as they make a wide range from low end to the most expensive non-custom cues ever made. However, their balance is farther back on the butt than most cues, so many would choose a McDermott for the same or lower price - or, if not looking for a very good cue, may go for a Viking, etc.

If you want to know you are getting a good cue for the price and not going to a custom (which can be very low priced and is truly a personal piece), Meucci, McDermott and Brunswick are some of the best, but that should not take away from the other good ones - a used custom cue can cost less and will maintain its value, which certainly makes it a great cue for the money.

Answer 4
