what is the stiffest and the most solid cue that you've played/hit with or owned??? pics would also be great if you have it...

it doesn't have to be the best playing cue since most of us has a varied preference when it come to hit and playability...

So I'll start it...

To date...so far with all cues that I have tried I would have to say it's my Gina...

...and here she is...

Barry and his Dad (with steel joints) hit firmly... My old Richard Black hits firmly as well, but not a Szamboti by a long shot...

My Josey full splice with the Timeless Timber™ shaft (handpicked from Keith's personal stash), and SS sleeved 3/4 Radial pin joint. Feels like a one piece.

The Tucker and Allers I had to part with were pretty close, one a little too heavy, the other a little too light. :(

Gus Szamboti was the stiffest cue I've ever hit with by a wide margin.
It was a bit too stiff for my likes but that is my personal prefferance.

Lost my job back at the end of May. Ex-boss fought my unenjoyment, so no $$$ coming in. Was very short of the mortgage as a result. Still battling with unenjoyment, and still no work. A soldier back from Iraq begged me for the Allers, and paid a good price for it too. The Tucker was an easy sell, and brought a good price. It helped save the house and property. I got to keep a cue, and I figured that I might lose a little on the Josey, so I kept it. It was all a very difficult decision at a very tough time in my life. Being a 52 yo female in a depressed job market state isn't helping.

No worries...once I can get working again, I have buy-back option on the Tucker. It's in very good hands. And since Paul is local to me, and a friend, I can always get another cue from him.

This cue felt like it had steel poles for shafts it hit so stiff...ivory ferrules & Triangle tips so it was definately the cue...Tascarella.

Not as stiff as this Moochi I tried.
It was frozen in a meat locker when I tried it.

Old Hoppe cues.

I'd have to say my 2 Joey cues and Hunter Classic. After those this very old Southwest cue I sold a few years back. Pics aren't the greatest but you should get the Idea.
