Have any of you ever tried out a Generic cue that you felt was a great playing cue?

Camaraderie, lots of cue and cue show discussion, talks about drinking, more real-world shooting discussion instead of fantasy paper discussion.
Several of the world's best cuemakers post "there" as part of the group (as opposed to just coming in once in a while because someone enticed them with a question.
Supposedly, aren't Cue Components rip off artists selling counterfeit gear and what not? Or is it was cheap and ya don't care or whatever ? I've had no dealings with them, only basing my statement of off dozens of others....
I take it you're not going to search some $50 cue with " long taper " and super glued inlays ?
Hey, it hits great.
Must be the cross-cut shaft.

I checked the forum out, and it appears to be pretty dead (not active at all). I am so used to receiving replies within a number of minutes, but on there, it might be at least a number of days, or weeks before getting a reply.
I'm pretty sure the old timers like Mosconi, Crane, Balsis etc all started out with "generic" cues since there weren't really any custom cues at the time and they ran hundreds of balls.
I knew a guy who used a $50 dollar Players sneaky and played high level pool with it. I would say a custom cue gives you a much better chance of being a good playing cue but some cheap generic cues also play well.

Pro 12"-15" taper on 2 shafts, with Le Pro tips,(LBM ferrules). 58" even split. Wrapless and no butt plate. I'm paying you $200 in full, it's already on the way. So go in the back & stop what they're doing & get on my cue, I want it Friday week! Thank you kindly !!!
