I played way better many years ago and don't have the cue now, but I think the best playing custom cue I ever had was a 4-point ebony cue that I had Richard Black make for me back in 1978.
I guess you're really looking for the SECOND BEST cue maker since Searing isn't included?

No Showman, Manzino, Mobley, Tascarella etc. Is this a poll for 2nd, 3rd, 4th tier or worse cuemakers? Just askin

I think most of the responses are from people who are actually shooting pool on a steady basis. They have tried a various amount of cues and know what they like in a hit. Not too many people go to the pool hall with a 3-4 thousand dollar cue, Szams, Boars, Blacks, Ginas and others are top of the line cues, but most people dont want to watch their cue like a hawk all night. I go to the pool hall for fun and relaxation not to stressed out over my choice of pool cue for the evening. I bang with a Pierce and a Olney because I like the hit. Upon the same thought I have owned a couple of Black Boars, a truck load of Schons, a really nice Black, etc. We have shooters and we have more expensive cues. I used to take my Boar in all the time. People would ask why I brought such a nice, expensive cue to the pool hall. All cues are made for shooting. I wouldnt own a cue unless I could take to the hall. Does the cue make the man or does the man make the cue ? Closet queens or working tools, we all make our own choice. Happy shooting and collecting to all.
What is the best custom cue that you used or tried?
Please let us know the playability and deflection of the cue.
So, custom made cue are really better than production cue for you?
here are some list from international cue makers website yet we can add well known cuemakers all over the world.
