best cue up to a 1,000 dollars
- Thread starter MANPUSS
- Start date
Are top name cue makers now charging more than $1000 for a plain jane Sneaky or Merry Widow?
I would even think I could get either with 2 shafts for a G.
There are some Barnharts on J&J website now for $850 with 2 shafts. And this is only 1 example.
$1000 will go a long way IMO.

Seconded, Pechauer has a great rep.
What would be the worst cue over $1,000?
A friend of mine has one and I've hit some balls around with it a couple times, but I never really checked it out. It looked and felt to be good quality and the shaft was nice.
It was a wrapless Merry Widow with some nice wood. I think it may have had antler as a joint, but I can't remember.
I got too many cues as it is to be thinking of getting another one. I have a custom Merry Widow that should be finished sometime real soon that will probably be the last cue I buy. However, I said that about a dozen cues ago. I got a closet full and I never put the up for sale. I use them to play with.
Would be a pretty long list unfortunately of cues and cuemakers over $1,000 to avoid
hi
Dont pay that much until you play with at least 20 custom cues, there is many custom cue makers that makes nice cue you just have to find what you like. Guys like Josey, DZ Cues, Wes Hunter, Jensen are some of many great cuemakers.

I have not read through the replies, so someone may have already mentioned DZ Custom cues.
If I had a $1,000 to spend on a cue, then I would get a DZ custom cue. I see that a "Basic 4 Point with 4 veneers & leather wrap" starts at a $1,000, so I assume that you could order a basic 4 point with veneers, direct from DZ for a $1,000.

I have never played with one, but I always imagined that they hit amazing. They sure do look like really great playing cues, and I really like to watch his youtube videos on cue making and repair. They are very interesting.

Here is one, to give you an idea about how amazing his cues look.

Dayton cues are so beautiful.
pool no, a real + if all hell breaks loose
( could have used one in Lawton, Ok back in the spring of 66)
I agree with Pechauer. They will make anything you want. They bought their own timberland. They select their own trees. They built their own mill and process their own lumber. They built their own machine shop and make all joints and screws in-house. Mr. Pechauer inspects and signs every Pro series cue before it goes out. Everyone likes different things and I've never owned a cue from a true custom builder, but I've tried or owned cues from most (not all of course) production companies and for me no one does a better job than Pechauer and at extremely reasonable prices. Great customer service and a lifetime guarantee that includes warping.
That’s a cool cue but, it rolls like crap!

Has anyone recommended Tim Monk cues yet? I am not sure about his prices, or anything else, but he seems really nice, honest, and his cues are really beautiful.

Do you believe there is a difference between a $200 cue and a $1000 cue, other than price? The inserts and glued in pieces don't make you a better player. A great player could play with a curtain rod.
