Oh, and ---me---

Only about 15 top cuemakers have seen my work.

Ask about the cuemaker, whos been in the hospital for almost 6 months, last name 'kennedy'----

how does his work stack up???

I have been in the carpentry and upholstering and antique restoration business, since i was put to work on a tape-edge machine at the ripe old age of 4 years old. I have been classically trained by a family that has been located in oregon for the last 125 years, in the same location, same building. How many people can claim this!!!

Anyway, only a few know who i am and what i have made, there are a couple of my cues in the smithsonian magazine, along with a select group including a special tutankhmen (sorry for the spelling) special ivory-scrimshawed weston cue!!!

Enough said, i going back to my iv line!!!!

Ps. I am going to get out of here, finally on oct. 17th.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Thank you...thats very kind of you.

Truth is...there are many choices for maximum performance cues. Truth is...I can take an older Moochie sneaky...change the pin, ferrule, and tip...and that cue will play as well if not better than anything you can buy...pure magic. The low deflection and the amount of junk you can put on the cueball would shock you....all with a cheapo raced up Moochie pete. :shocked:

I don't think I could give a best hit list without trying to give the who do what they do best. I am partial to one style of hit, but I will give the ones I think do their style hit really well.

South West (solid hit)
Older Meucci (Very High action hit)
Tibbits stainless joint (straight pool players dream cue)
Hightower (Medium stiff higher action hit) I am very biased :smile:
Gilbert (Stiff firm hit)
Bludworth (Medium high action with low deflection)
Dieckman (Stiffer hit with wood thread joint)

Did you have to give the Tibbits back to the leprechaun? I thought they were only a myth! I would love to actually see one of Danny's cues.
My top 5(in order)
1 Black Boar(amazing stiffness plus action)
2 Southwest
3 Gina
4 Tim Scruggs
5 My slightly modified Mike Stacey plain jane!

I have never had the pleasure of hitting any Bary's or Gus', or Tasc, Searing, Showman, Mobley, or Manzino. I hope to hit them all some day!
