There are no BAD Cues, if it just for playing. Person with Skill, can play well with most any Cue.
Worst experience with Cuemaker was Tony Zinzola, he butchered design, ran late, ran later, was Mr. Excuses, was someone who had a wonderful offortunity to be major player in the Cue Biz, until he Shafter TIKKLER.
