great job in going thru the thread
any numbers to go along (how many votes)

We had a local guy at one time, named Howard Ikeda who made good cues and played like burning hell. He once gave Jimmy Reid all he could stand, although Jimmy eventually prevailed.

And from what I recall Howard raised some pretty nasty birds, too....:woot: Joey, what ever became of Howard?

I don't know if Joe Callaluca has been mentioned or not, but he should be. I've been playing his cue with ferruleless shaft for about a year, and it's definately the best bang for the buck out there. I like this thread, lots of good cuemakers out there now.

ok, slow day at work, new to az and wanted to give some back, and try and figure out the madness. three coloums first is all votes, 2nd is people who voted three or less times, 3rd is people who only voted once. Didnn't really come out in columns on here but you should be able to figure it out.

276 people voted all together and there were 791 votes
187 people voted 3 or less time in column 2 and had 329 votes
98 people voted column 3 with 98 votes...

i tried to remove duplicate votes as some peole posted two or 3 times. where i could not identify i removed. it's not perfect but it's 99% correct.

I suggest to the creator of this thread. create a new one. and have people just vote once!!!! people votingf 7-12 times, leads me to believe they are pushing merchandise they have.

the 99 single votes selected 66 differetn cues. I guess to each his own is the final result.

if something wants to reward me with a cue for my hard here work please pm me. ill take a southwest or a schon, or even a balabushka.

Best hitting cues? For me it would be my R-12 Schon. I have had it for a short time but it feels like part of my arm.
