There was a survey here a couple years ago asking what members thought are the best production cues. Schon came in first, followed by Mezz, with Predator a distant 3rd. Just people's opinions, but Mezz are more reasonably priced then either of the other two.

I've only had my MSP2-P a couple weeks and am perfectly happy with their WX-Sigma (12.5 mm) shaft. Looking to the future, I did some research and have read that some 5/16x14 joints will fit, others may not. Time will tell if I decide to try one.

I'm not comfortable with any table that uses nuts and bolts to assemble the frame. I understand some manufacturers may use extremely heavy duty hardware but I prefer made-to-order uni-body frames that are made in the USA to high end furniture standards. They'll last a lifetime. Just my opinion.

I like wrapless cues so the selection from Mezz is limited, but I just got one of their Sneaky Pete's and I am impressed. Excellent quality. United joint fits very snug and is machined perfectly.

If you like Joss that's fine, but you cannot say it's a better cue since that's completely subjective. I tried Joss and much prefer Pechauer, which also offers more attractive cues at better prices, and with far superior customer service. Different strokes.

Pechauer uses their own proprietary speed joint, but they will build you a cue with pretty much any joint for about a $50 upgrade. I was going to have them build me one with a radial joint, but decided I'm perfectly happy with the two I already own.

Agreed. Beautiful cues, very reasonably priced, lifetime warranty, made in USA, fantastic customer service. They bought their own timberland so they could harvest their own trees, process them in their own lumber mill, built a machine shop so they can build all their own screws and joints. Who...

I just got a Mezz Sneaky Pete MSP2-P and I am really impressed. I'd said above that I had reservations about Mezz because I'd heard they have a thick butt, but I called Mezz USA and found out the opposite is true, so I ordered one. The quality of the finish is top tier. The United joint is a...

Keith Josey in Savannah. Great customer service, and I've never heard a negative word about him.

While it certainly isn't friendly or welcoming, I wouldn't go so far as to call this hostile. There's nothing on the list that's all that unreasonable and it describes my behavior when I play. It's a shame that the owner feels it necessary to post a sign like this, but let's face it, some people...

I included a quote from you. Perhaps you should re-read it yourself. "I think it is just the popular and safe thing to bash them and it is unjustified in my experience. Some people just hate someone who is so successful. Just a guess." So, once again, if someone disagrees with you about Meucci...

WX-Sigma with United joint.

Keith Josey merry widow, bocote with wrapless black-stained handle model B03-b. Keith Josey is considered one of the finest custom cue makers in the country with a spotless reputation. He has a waiting list of approximately 9 months last time I checked, maybe longer now. This cue has a somewhat...

Sooooo...if someone has a markedly different experience than you, it must be because they want to be popular and safe, or just because they like to bash successful people? How utterly ridiculous and narrow minded. Just be happy you've received stuff you're happy with and have some empathy for...

I don't know, I was just on Mezz USA and very few cues had "out of stock" notes. Almost everything could be added to a cart and purchased.

I just got a Mezz Sneaky Pete in Purple heart. I'd never played with one before, but every single time anyone on this site mentions Mezz, it's always extremely favorable, and I've never seen a bad word about Mezz, which we can all agree is pretty unusual for any manufacturer or cue builder...

Not that hard to find, actually. Pool Dawg will sell them when they get stock, and Mezz USA keeps inventory, I think. I just bought the Purple Heart Sneaky Pete and it's a beautiful, well-made player. I'm impressed.

How you can possibly believe Searing is either honest or a nice guy is beyond me. Maybe at one time, but allowing backorders like this to happen, with no updates, and people accepting it, is absurd, and borderline criminal.

Sadly, it probably is too much to ask. In my experience a lot of people (I hate to say most, but that might also be true) are lazy and inconsiderate, and if everybody were to clean up after themselves and actually respect the property of the owner where they're playing it would shock me. I wish...
