About Complete Cues

Complete cues are a butt and shaft in one set, ready to play once screwed together. It is the largest cue subcategory on BidBil and the most common first purchase: a used Predator Sneaky Pete, Mezz EC7, Cuetec AVID or Lucasi Custom usually costs 30–50% less than new here. Listings show the joint (3/8×10, Uni-Loc, radial), tip diameter, weight in oz and condition.

What to check: straightness (a cue rolled on the table must not bounce), a joint that screws tight without play, a ferrule without cracks. The tip does not matter, you will replace it at a cue service. If you already own a butt, look at shafts separately, and for tournaments at break cues. Which cue to start with and how much to spend is covered in the guide which billiard cue to buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which billiard cue should a beginner buy?
For a beginner a complete 1-piece or 2-piece cue weighing 18–20 oz with a 12–13 mm tip is enough. Good starter brands: Cuetec, Mezz Axi, Predator Sport II, Lucasi Hybrid. Break and jump cues are for intermediate players — start with one universal cue and a case.
Predator or Mezz — which is better?
Predator (USA) and Mezz (Japan) are top brands. Predator dominates the US and pool tour with Revo (composite) and P3 (wood) shafts. Mezz is Japanese precision — PowerBreak, EC7, Axi models. Choice comes down to feel and aesthetics — both are professional-grade. Main cue price: $500–2000.
What is a break cue and jump cue?
A break cue is used for the break shot — heavier (19–21 oz), with a harder tip (bakelite/phenolic) for maximum energy transfer. A jump cue is short (~40–110 cm) used to jump over a blocking ball. In tournaments players carry 3 cues: play cue, break cue, jump cue.
How much does a good billiard cue cost?
Basic playable complete cue: $130–400 (Cuetec, Lucasi, Mezz Sport). Mid-tier tournament: $400–1000 (Predator P3/K3, Mezz EC7). Professional: $1000–4000 (Predator Revo, Mezz Ignite, custom). Shafts separately: $400–1300. Used premium cues in good condition often sell for half retail.
