Chad McLennan is a skilled custom pool cue maker based in Oklahoma, operating under the brand CAM Custom Cues. He specializes in crafting one-of-a-kind billiard cues known for their solid playability, precise craftsmanship, and attention to detail, often using high-quality woods like ebony, purple heart, and birdseye maple, along with intricate inlays such as ivory and nickel silver. His work has been praised in billiards communities since at least the mid-2000s, with enthusiasts describing his cues as “flawless” in execution and among the best-playing they’ve used.
McLennan’s cues often feature designs like four-pointers with veneers, full splices, or sneaky pete styles, and they typically come with multiple maple shafts., with prices ranging from about $1,000 to $4000.00 or more for custom builds. On forums like AZBilliards and Reddit, players rank his cues highly for both aesthetics and performance, noting they’re hard to come by since he produces them in limited quantities.
