Best hitting cue you ever played with.

The main question I have is...if they were the best cues you ever had, why don't you still have them?
To me its my Gus Szamboti. I am sure though as my skillset increases the cue make will become less important. Case in point, I have read many claims recently about this guy being the best on the planet, most precise, etc.. or this guy that made less than 100 cues but can't install a leather wrap?? being the best hitter.. really? So the list of "pros" that are waiting for these cues must be insane.. no wonder you can't get one. :wink:
I plan on playing with a few different cues over the next few months. Will any become regulars? We'll see.. I hope so. I have a monster coming and its coming from someone that I am proud to call a friend, let alone my preferred cuemaker.

The best hitting cue for me is a Mike Gulyassy cue, I still use it today since 2005, I owned different cues from him but they are all the same. Same interior design and weight balance, just a little different color in the outside. Not to mention that his cues are reasonable when it comes to price which is a plus. Also time of production is really good.
so yeah, Mike Gulyassy+++

My favorite Huebler, and one of the best looking cues ever made IMO.
Did I mention I REALLY like that cue?

Mine was all ebony (no points). I had special ivory designs put in.
Had a couple of other Cokers through the years and they all played great.
I was lucky enough to own a Gus Szamboti from 1985-2000. Bought it pre owned from a guy for $800 back then. Sold it in 2000 for $3000 when I needed the cash. 
That was by far the sweetest cue I ever hit a ball with, I swear it had a mind of it's own and knew just what to do. I wish somebody would have smacked some sense into me and told me not to let it go back then, but I was not playing at the time and it seemed like the thing to do.....
Hindsight is surely 20/20 vision!

My current Paul Mottey cue, also with a piloted ivory joint, is also the best hitting cue I've ever owned.
