I do not receive any sponsorship from Dave this is intended as a thank you to him and to bring recognition to one of the great ones (Dave will never say so because he just enjoys pool, pool players and making cues) in pool.
Special thanks to Dave Whitsell a San Diego county (I think location is why he doesn't have nationwide recognition) cue maker and billiard store owner from La Mesa, Ca http://westcoastcues.com/ and good friend of mine.
I've known Dave for about 20 years and during that time I own four of his cues. I can't call him a cue maker (I think he is more than that) he is an artist with all the quirks and creativity that come with that label. I have seen most of the higher end cues made by others and his cues play as well or better than any of them.
He's definitely worth checking out if you want a cue made he will cater to everybody from a APA 1 to a movie star to a professional player.
For those who need to be warned he lives by the motto of "treat others as you wish to be treated". I've seen him refuse to make cues for people regardless of what they were offering to pay.
If only one person reads this thread and gets to meet Dave regardless if they buy one of his products or not they will be richer for it. After you meet him go next door to "OnCue billiards" to play.
