I thought Kim played with a Joss West.
He even had a Gus jump cue.

So my vote is a little biased... GUS.
My regular player is a four point Tim Scruggs which hits real close to the Gus.
I am enjoying this discussion.
It's like trying to solve the ancient riddlle:
"What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?".
Kinda like:
Hoppe vs. Mosconi,
SVB vs. Efren,
Mantle vs. Ruth,
Lebron vs. Jordan,
Brady vs. Manning,
Earnhardt vs. Petty,
Diamond vs. Gold Crown,
Chevy vs. Ford,
Harley Davidson vs. Triumph,
iPhone vs. Android,
Superman vs. Batman,
Fox vs. CNN,
Trump vs. Obama,
Which is even the best matchup of the above?
Clearly, the answer is...........?

Hi all,
I recently acquired my second Szamboti, which is a Barry. I play against a guy every week whose family owns some of the finest Bushkas and Szams in existence. Last Saturday, I was playing with my Barry and he was playing with a Gus.
We started a conversation about which cues hit better. Now, I know that Bushkas tend to get better prices and are the Stradivarius' of cues, but we both think that the Szams play better.
There is was no question about George's early cues. They had Titlist forearms and George hadn't started using some of the adhesives we see in today's cues. They buzzed before he came up with his famous buzz rings. They had fat butts and neither of us thought they hit nearly as well as some of his later cues.
His later cues had much nicer fronts (especially the Gus fore ends) and definitely played better than his early cues, but neither of us think that George's cues hit better than the Gus he uses or my Barry.
What say you all that have been fortunate enough to try both?
Strawberry!Which tastes better, Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream?

Exactly why I started the post, Will! There aren't any real answers to these kinds of rhetorical questions, but they stir up some great conversation. I would suspect you have an opinion, as you have probably had one or two in your collection? I'd love to hear it! :thumbup:
