We used to have a local term, "House Cue Charlie", for a chap who preferred to play and win using a house cue from the rack. I remember a Charlie who was a fine pool shooter and purchased a house cue he enjoyed. He looked a little goofy lugging his "58-inch pride and joy" home and to the pool hall again, but he beat a lot of people with it at the tables!
The entire concept of cues that separate was in response to eyes poked out and body parts skewered with house cues. Perhaps it's time for you to get about the business of choosing a personal cue and considering...
...how not to make pool a license to kill.
