So they actually improved then? To my knowledge, all of their current cues have inlays. And they actually look better in real life then on the website.

A random idea I had, is that Cuetec should expand their Avid ERA series to include their take on stuff like Titlist cues. I would actually buy something like that.

I assumed the ugly layouts were mostly he result of the 2nd ball break (in attempt of making an 8 on the break)

https://josscues.com/product/joss-2601-pool-cue/ Joss just released 4 new cues 3 of them are nice but pretty simple (no colors), while this one is totally up my alley! This is one of the nicest cues they released in a while, IMO.

The Meuccis with the louder designs had decals? I was under the impression that they always used real inlays but I could be wrong.

The fact that they made it that far in a tournament 7s shows that they're actually 7s. They're finalists in the tournament while their critics are not!

Very nice! I wish Meucci made more 4 point cues these days. Some of my friends have ones from the 90s and they look really cool. I have a newer Meucci (ANW-1) and I love it, but with no points it is less striking.

This + slightly bolder color would be perfect for me

If I could buy something like this (or with a little added geometric bling), I would totally consider it if it wasn't super expensive. The Joss 5 points are sorts like that

There are a decent amount of interesting cues still being used, especially among Asian players

I wouldn't be surprised if the top women's players these days shoot better than most male pro pool players in the 80s and 90s

Yeah, I think the ones with the colored veneers are sharper than the less expensive ones with only black points.

There are two on PoolDawg that fit the description, they're on my radar too.

In terms of appearance think my favorite style of cue is: -4, 5 , or 6 sharp, colored points (not floating) -linen wrap, especially with color or speckle -substantial but not overly busy inlay work I particularly like when the butt sleeve has some sort of rounded motif, like ovals to balance...

I would like to know, for APA purposes
