Mike Durbin, also known as J. Michael Durbin, is a highly regarded custom pool cue maker based in Sullivan, Illinois. He has been crafting cues since 1995, focusing on handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces without the use of CNC machines. His cues are known for their exceptional playability, unique designs incorporating exotic woods like cocobolo, ebony, and snakewood, and intricate inlay work, often featuring patterns in rings, points, or forearms. Durbin’s work caters primarily to professional players, with cues starting at around $800 and potentially reaching much higher prices for elaborate custom builds. In addition to his cue-making, Durbin is a farmer, with his family managing over 2,000 acres of land; he’s even created tribute cues inspired by his agricultural life. His cues are easily identifiable by his signature on the forearm and are sold through his website, Durbin Custom Cues, as well as retailers and platforms like eBay. Over the years, he’s built a reputation for both high-end artistic cues and more straightforward “player’s” models, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.
