Not talking about the beauty, design, resale/collection values ............ but concerning for the playability (Hit) and quality only, is a plain jane cue the best value for the money spent on a custom cue purchase???
Thanks!

MEZZ, they come pretty simple if you want it that way, and they hit great, JUDD also make a good plain cue

Sorry misread the post, yes they are. Its the indian not the arrow
 
What he said. Inlays and fancy work are just for looks. I would rather buy a custom Plain Jane ($200-250)than a cue off the rack, but that is just me. Not everyone thinks the same (Thank Goodness).

This is the easiest question I have ever seen asked on this forum and it is therefore the easiest question to answer. Putting price aside, the cue that is the best bang for the buck is the cue that feels the best in your hands. Price, what others think, the way it looks, who makes it, or anything else doesn't really matter.

So try start trying as many cues as you possible can when you find it you will know!!!!!:)

And I agree, the answer is a resounding, Yes!

Very simply put, fancy = time + extra materials = additional cost.

A cuemaker can make a cue without all of the options which increase the cost (inlays, points, veneers, exotic wraps) and this "plain jane" will hit just as good as the expensive one.

I could name lots of great cuemakers (one even posted here in this thread) who could fix you up with what you need but, as someone previously mentioned, since the feel is so subjective to our individual tastes, it would be ideal if you were able to try some out before purchasing. Otherwise, seek out who has a great reputation and provide them with your specs.

Best,
