I have owned an Omega/DPK, Richard Black, Southwest, two Pechaeurs, a Scruggs, a Lambros, a Mike Bender, two Samsaras and a Searing. The Lambros was great but my favorite is my Scruggs with a Samsara LD TrueShaft. It has a radial pin (somewhat rare i believe for a Scruggs), is perfectly balanced for me, great feedback and I love the relatively simple design.
That being said, it is all based on personal preference and fell IMO.

Radial pin Scruggs are hardly rare from what I can tell.
I own a TS flat ivory joint with radial pin & it is hardly rare.
Sometimes we wanna believe what makes us feel good.
The bottom line is scarcity influences any pool cue’s rarity.

Scarcity and death.
I remember all those people that were so happy because the value of their Scruggs went up.
Sadly I've never played with a true custom cue but I've played with most of the well know production makers and for me the Pechauer Pro series feels best.
TS's famous hit is with his small screw imo.
I have test played every joint version Tim produced, except for a flat faced wood to wood joint.
Without question, the flat faced ivory big pin versions played the best of all the different joints.
Obviously, everyone likes what they like and so what one prefers another player may or may not.
You just don’t see many flat faced ivory joints offered for sale, maybe it’s because of ivory bans.
Everyone I met that had that version TS cue has treasured it but after all, they should. It’s a TS cue.

Rocky Tillis made great playing cues. Recently got a Robinson that plays real good and I think that any Robinson should play the same. Bay Area player Richard "Bucktooth" Cook has a couple of Robinson cues he's used for the last 25 years or so. I think Rick Cuddy makes a hell of a cue (RC3). It's really hard to find a cue that fits like a glove. Back in the days when there were few tournaments everyone played for money and everyone played with house cues as you wouldn't want to scare off your action with a two piece cue. Back then a player was sized up by how good he played for money. Regardless what kind of cue you can have what good is it if your a choke artist. You out there know who you are. You can practice everyday with the finest cue money can buy but it won't help if you can't handle the pressure.

Greatest cue I have ever played with? An old Pechauer J11 from 20 years ago. It was a gift from a friend who gave up pool. It felt like an extension of my arm. I haven't used it in 15 years..
Would love to see a pic of the McDermott, big Mcdermott fan...if you get a chance to post one! Thanks

I had all of my cues out on the table the other day. Thirteen total with 22 extra shafts. I am currently playing with a Mike Sigel Australian Oak cue and using a Becue shaft. Love it. Also using, from time to time, a Jim Pierce tulipwood cue with a Revo shaft. Jim made an extension for me last year so I use that when I need to stretch.
Other cues I have are a couple Lambros, Jacoby, Carmeli, Sigel, Schon, Troy Vance, Josey, and a capless 6-pointer that I do not recall who made it. Love them all though.

Here you go.
This is CJ's cue that he used during the Million Dollar Challenge Tournament in Dallas in 1996. He won the tournament, beating Earl Strickland in the finals.

CJ cue
My daughter has that same cue. It is an RS-11. Plays fine, but I do not like the feel of the leather wrap. The cue is like new. I have and have had and played many cues over the years. If I had to pick one to play for money I would chose the Steel stick that I pd $150 in the 90s. Predecessor to Cuetec. My old 80s Huebler was one of the best players. All time player was my Cochran. It stayed in the safe.
