Your best playing production cue

[RAMIII]

Exceed, blows my mind every time I play with it. The company has ruined me to a point on customs. It's hard to imagine a cue can play any better than an Exceed if you can find one....

I had a 1990's Schon that was an awesome player after that any Mezz.

Would a Predator Panthera count?

They make 100 pool versions and 30 carom versions? Done by Jacoby.

And Exceed was mentioned. That’s 50/50 like the Pantheras. As they are sold by a production company, but Exceeds are built the same as custom.

Helmstetter 87-14. 2 original shafts. Bought new in 87

Had a bit of luck in the past with the Mezz WD & WX 700 shafts on a older Pechauer butt that would accept the united joint.

So to answer the original question Mezz & Pechauer.

Having said, I am currently playing with Predator.

I still play occasionally with my ‘85 Joss merry widow and my ‘91 Meucci sneaky pete.

You can't go wrong with the curremt Joss cues. I have 6 of them

I have hit a few balls with a friend’s current model Joss and I agree with you.

For the money, Cuetec Avid Era. Its mainly a beater cue for me, but for only $225.00 nothing comes close.

Meucci HOF 2

 

[buckshotshoey]

My best feeling cue is an OB Ebony, straight line core, OB1+ with Moori Hard tip. I know a lot of people didn't like the wooden ferrule, but I sure do. Especially when paired with a hard tip.

Some people have expressed they think the OB 1 shaft feels mushy. But I can tell you for sure it does not with a hard tip on it. It is awake and lively!

Meucci sneaky

Mine is 35 years old. It sits in the trunk of my car in the Florida heat all year round in a $10 soft case. Still dead straight.

It ain’t pretty, but it “plays” as good as any cue I own. Which is to say, I can dog a money ball with it as easily as I can with any high end custom…

Mezz and Pechauer.
Extremeley high quality standard. Absolutley Top Notch stuff!


Stamboulini ( end of 80 s) was also a fine cue.

Stambo's were ADAM built. Pretty good cue for the $$

One of the rarest occurrences is a used Exceed listed for resale. If I ever see one I am buying it!

What’s the best playing production cue you’ve ever played with for the money?

Player HXT and my $40 Nitro (designed by McDermott, I think). I would assume the McDermott Lucky falls in the same category as my Nitro.

I have a Schon STL4 I won back in the heyday of AZB raffles. Cue plays fantastic.

I really like my Mezz EC7 with Ignite shaft
