Help buying a pool cue

Definately stop breaking with your play cue - it is a shot you are using tonnes of power on and i wouldnt want to use a good play cue for them. Plus a good breaker has little throw (flex) and most modern ones use phenolic tips.

Sledgehammers are the standard as far as im aware but generally not cheap. If you want just use a club cue to break off or cheap crappy cue you get in a supermarket, but investing a breaker is a solid step in the right direction if you wanna take the game seriously.

As for play cues, http://www.meuccicues.com/ is supposed to be a good brand - same goes for http://www.stealthcues.com/

Ultimately id recommend finding somewhere you can try them out (never buy on blind over the internet even if its recommended highly) and see what fits your stroke best.
