Tough choice
I have two cues that reach potential "best ever" status. I feel fortunate every time I play with them. I have not seen a cue that I would trade for either of these beasts, regardless of price.
I have become very attached to a Szamboti (59.5", 20.4 oz., '86-'88 Gus butt, '06 Barry shaft, steel joint, Schick taper, Moori III Quick tip). I have owned it since 2006.
But I still need to choose a '93 Bill Schick (57.5", 19.5 oz., 19.75" balance, steel joint, Schick taper, 13.15 mm, Talisman WB Hard tip). I have owned it since 1997. The shafts I play with were made for me by Bill in '97. If there was ever a 'point-and-shoot' cue, this is it.
