Well, there is at least one guy totally obsessed with Mezz. There are several others trying to be objective and helpful. Bottom line is that none of us can recommend the right cue for someone else. There is no right answer. I’m not a fan of Mezz, I prefer old Schon cues. It just means we’re all different. Until the OP feels what seems like the right cue in his hands, he can’t make the right decision. Unanswerable question.

Most cues today can be customized after buying... aftermarket shafts, weight change kits. The biggest issue would be feel...(diameter). Maybe the best bet is to buy a cue that is return/exchangeable. Myself...If I do not like what I bought I buy another and another and another...man it's tough being unstable

I have a 30” with leather wrap. 5/16x14. It's the one on the left. Comes with a Tiger 12' extension.

The one on the right is a 30" Uni-Loc

I don't like announcements of price increases. I'd prefer vendors simply increase the price as needed with no fanfare. In any industry.

Oh nice.

Pricing is hard to compare though. We don't know if the Diamond or Brunswick price includes delivery and setup. And I'd assume the Diamond setup price is much higher if you order the 3 piece slate instead of the 1 piece slate, which would be necessary in many home installations.

Edit, and when asking people what they paid, we don't know if it included delivery and setup and tax either. It's like comparing car prices. There are so many charges, if you ask someone what they paid, you have no idea what their answer entails.

Diamond makes it tougher they don't even list an MSRP on their website, and never have.

For reference: my 9' Professional in black oak was $9250 before tax and install.

When did you get it? I know they have had price increases recently. And is it a Pro-Am or Professional?

My 9Professional with PRC & Maple was about $1400 on top of that... Plus a waste of $500 for the set plus and additional $1300 to do it over plus it has to be done again. I started out ordering a GC6 but the order fell through. I bought the Diamond knowing I had recourse (Credit Card) if something went sour on the sellers end before delivery. I do not like the Diamond for few reasons...mainly appearance and the pocket liner surrounding the rail. If money was a factor I'd have gotten used, refurnished or Pro Am. I'd buy a Mark Gregory Centennial if one was available.

Isn't yours a Pro-Am, which is cheaper than the Professional? Diamond really picked stupid names that everyone confuses.
