  wah got lotsa brands leh how to list? most common wood used is maple i belive.. my best advice is to choose somethg w a suitable weight (pls note competition weight limit standards) and a comfortable feel wen u cue.
  
  any reputable cue retailer will let u do a few pot shots with the cue (no chalking is allowed). jus be sure that wen u take a stong shot the cue doesnt reverberate, make any werid clicking noises n definatly make sure the cue is straight by rolling it on the table.
  
  pls note that your playing cue is not your breaking cue!!! a seperate breaking cue is best. constant hard breaking will damage the cue. a cheap cue will do fine as the breaking cue.
  
  personally im using a brunswick this is it.... but mine has a darker wood stain treatment...
