Dan Dicola

Solid cues, I’ve hit a couple and enjoyed them.

In regards to value, don’t believe it would be an investment purchase, lol… not highly sought after.

you wont know whether any cue is going to be a good hitter for you unless you test it out before you buy.
But most cue makers have a general reputation for playability.
I’ve played with hundreds of cues over the years and I can tell you that certain builders generally make cues that play well.

Yeah, looking at one that’s loaded but I can’t pull the trigger on it.
Obscure cues are usually obscure for a reason.
 
of course most all top makers make great playing cues or they wouldnt be top makers.

but each person has their own idea of a great hit and feel. and only by hitting a particular cue can you tell if its right for you.
no matter who made it.

and after you get real good you can play super with any stick. but still have one that you prefer.

Thanks for continuing to do nothing to answer my original question.
I’ve been playing pool for about 45 years. In all that time I never learned any of the wisdom you’re bestowing on me. I’m lucky to catch the attention of a real expert.

This wasn't directed at me, but in all fairness "are Dan Dicola cues good players" is a dumb question. There is no such thing as a good playing cue, as if everybody would like it. There are only cues that meet or do not meet your personal preferences.

It's like asking "does asparagus taste good?". To some people it does, and to some people it doesn't. Same with every cue out there. Yes there are cues that a lot more people that like than don't like, but it still doesn't tell you which group you are going to be in.

To get an answer that might actually be able to help you out you should have instead asked "can someone describe how Dan Dicola cues play, and what other cues out there play similarly?". Now that might actually be able to tell you something useful since you know the type of hit you like and other cue makers you like.

You can join him in the cornfield.
