Default Looking to buy a pool cue.

I started shooting pool regularly about 10 months ago and now I'm looking for a cue. I figured I would check here before buying one new. I'm 6'2" so I'm looking for a pretty long cue and 20 or 21 oz. My budget is around 200 but a really good deal might get more out of me.

I haven't been around billiards in a long time...in fact, I am hoping someone will take my old table out of the basement soon....lol. Cue's as my old mind remembers really need to be fitted to your taste. Go to some up scale billiard stores, and check out what they have, and then decide what you want. I never did find that perfect cue. But I did have a nice one...but #3 son latched on to that one...

@ Doc. I'm not looking for a perfect fit yet I'm trying to get a decent one that I can get use to and familiar with rather than using random and crappy house cues. I don't feel that I've played enough to know what I want in a cue yet other than the weight for what ever reason I like a heavier cue.

@ Amx my email address that I have and use for everything got locked by my schools IT department so for the time being I don't have one if you would just post a pic here and any information my phone number is 814- two two one- 5six3six if you would rather go that route.

Thank you both for the responses I have really taken a liking to this game and its crowed. I wish I could have played with my grandpa before he passed. Sadly he lost his his prized cue to a game of nine ball and never played another game after that.
I'm headed to Harrisburg tomorrow morning for the weekend and I've google spotted a few billiard stores I'm going to check out maybe even find a match or two.

Take care guys enjoy your weekend and keep those crossies shinny side up rubber side down!
