ive hit with most famous cue makers and some average cue makers, balabushka, SW,Rat, Klapp, Nitti, kersenbrock, Scruggs, Searing, herceck, prather, samsara, RJH, tascarella and a few others I can't remember. the only two cue makers I would really like and will never afford is an old kersenbrock with a yellow micarta ferrule and a tim scruggs. other than that, I owned a rat cue and sold it for no reason other than try different things, so i bought another bc i like them for everyday players. seriously underrated playing cues for the right price. Schon is an everyday cue with a predaotr shaft. those are it
if i need to choose only one, scruggs butt with an old kersenbrock shaft
heaven in a pool cue.
