Only one Cue, which one and why?

Just curious what the members value in their cues. If you could only use one cue for the rest of your playing life, Which one would it be? Just say you will be playing a variety of games, rotation, straight pool, 1 pocket, heck even snooker. The cue would need to be versatile, well made, etc. One cue for every game, breaking, jumping, etc.

Would it be a cue from your collection, or a cue you have always wanted, but never gotten?

If the choice came down to my mighty Lucasi cocobolo or the Troy Downey cue i would have to go with the Lucasi.
It just feels better to me.

Oh shit-fire, this is gonna bug me all week. It's between my McD D-1 or my Rick Howard Custom, (both with 2 shafts). I'll give a definite answer this weekend!

My Mezz. If not possible, for whatever reason, then any cue with a medium hard tip and an hour or so of practice to get used to how it plays.

I’d probably stop playing if I could only use one cue.
I play snooker, pool, and 3-cushion...and I got the tools for those jobs.

Simple to answer......any of the six (6) cues in my case.......any one of those cues
would satisfy the requirement of playing with only one cue from now on. I could just
close my eyes and pick any cue as the only cue I'll get to play with 'til I actually expire.

Now if it was possible to have acquired the Hercek cue I searched for in vain, I am pretty
certain that would be the cue I'd select but since that never materialized, Obladi Oblada.

So at least I can state with complete confidence I already own such a cue and the truly
very best part is I have five back-ups that can easily substitute if the need ever did arise.

I can't answer this question, especially since I'll be picking up my last 3 orders at the upcoming SBE.

I would like my 68 inch JC cue with the Larry Vigus thin shaft
that Larry designed for me

If I play at home only and no room for the long cue,I want Larry Vigus to make me
another cue,I like every one he has ever made

If I had the courage to keep a South West Cue,,i always loved them,but they are always selling so quickly that I can not turn down the money

I would have to say my new cue from PFD Studios by Paul Drexler.

I'm a huge fan of Paul's cues. I have an H-A myself.
I'd be super appreciative if you would be kind enough o post a pic of your cue. Thanx In Advance. -Z-

Have

The 3 best playing cues I have are a 8 point BlackBoar, a 4 point Tasc and a 8 point McDaniel. The cue I feel most comfortable playing with is the McDaniel.

They are all very close as far as playability but for some unknown reason I play my best with the McDaniel.
