I just got a limited edition Lucasi LZL-14 from Billiard warehouse and upgraded to a Hybrid radial shaft for an extra $60 and it's a great cue. I have a Pechauer and a McDermott with a G-Core shaft but this Lucasi is now my favorite.
3/8x10 joint, implex collar and leather wrap, beautiful inlays and points, seems extremely well made with a beautiful finish and plays great. Solid but slightly cushioned feel, somewhere between the Peach and the McDermott and the 8pc radial shaft and tip combination is a winner.
I know it's made in China and that's a turnoff for some on this forum, but for just over $300 I have a beautiful well made cue that feels as good in my hands and plays as well as anything I've used so far, along with a lifetime warranty that includes warping. I won't be looking for anything else in the foreseeable future.
