If you've ever met Brent you'd agree with me.
I think some people are taking this thread as favorite "cue" "brand."
The way I see this question posed it would be the maker themselves.
Keith Josey is a CLASS act though I've never met him.
Keith Hanssen is extremely timely, polite, and makes the best shafts out there. The butts are obviously amazing as well but his shafts are amazing.
Eric Crisp hands down uses the best woods available hands down. I love everything I've ever seen and thoroughly enjoy seeing ANYTHING he makes. I LOVE this guys work.
But you can't beat Brent. He's a really great guy. His finish is better than anyone's I've seen yet as well.
