Definitely not underrated, but relatively unknown - Brent Summers. He is out of Indiana I believe, and is a heck-of-a nice guy!
I met him for the first time at this year's Derby City Classic, we banged around some balls, and he made a plug about "being a cue maker" yadda yadda yadda...
Well, I wound up hitting balls with a few of his cues for a little over an hour. And, wow, just wow. Great playing cue.
He mentioned that he is just doing it on the side as a hobby, not trying to get rich. Likes to use highly figured woods, butterfly points, and natural materials. Definitely has his own style...
