Production Cue you Swear By.....

Josey is a hell of a cue too! Also, there are Diveney cues available right now on his web page for $500. Good luck.
Diveney sp's ARE sweet. Have had a couple over the years.
Even the cheapest of cue butts will play every bit as good as _____________ (fill in ANYBODY'S brand production or custom).
Find a cheap butt with your desired pin and then spend the bulk of your budget on a high quality shaft.

Oh I definitely talk to Josey, we're Facebook buds and he's done a bunch of tips and re-wraps for me.
A Josey is definitely in the cards. When I do get one, I want a little higher end.
Keep in mind Keith is quite capable of making a cue with old style sharp points and veneers. Mine was made in 2007. For production cues, my wife loves her merry widow style Jacoby. She says no if I suggest a new cue for her...

Yeah, that's why I suggested a Jacoby. It's a production cue like the title of the thread recommended we opine. :thumbup:

Your "mighty Lucasi" hits good, but the Lucasi cues I had hit better.
That's no shit
Well.... I went with a Mezz Sneaky, just pulled the trigger on it a minute ago.
I'm very appreciative of all the help guys, and if I lose any more games, it's all j2pac's fault!

Reading thread from front to back, consistencies found.
@1 Older
wood was very different then than now, we replant tree's and harvest wood between 10 and 20 years.
example: Brunswick used wood from trees aged 75 or 100 years, more.
That's no longer the case.
#2 Lucasi
The Lucasi custom cue is a strong player in the billiard Industry, consistent.
I don't know how they do it, their cues top out time and time again, Lucasi builds a good cue.
They know wood and how wood works, wood has secrets, Lucasi knows those secrets.
#3 McDermott
Older McDermott's are always mentioned, especially the C and D series.
Again, the woods used had been growing for a long time before harvesting,
pool cues made from 90 year old wood play exceptionally better than cues made with 20 year old wood.
Why didn't anyone mention Meucci
(just kidding)
Josey, Keith Josey makes a strong pool cue, excellent choice.

My cue is 10 years old.
In human years thats 70 years old.
None of us are as good at 70 as we once were.
But it still keeps pocketing balls pretty good.
Lucasi's are made by TaiCan/Universal in China. That factory makes several brands(Lucasi, Predator, most ADAM,and others). They make over 30,000 cues/month. They buy a LOT of wood and cure it correctly. Very good cues.Reading thread from front to back, consistencies found.

Bill Stroud told me that he spent a lot of time teaching Lucasi how to make cues.
In Bills words "Lucasi makes a great cue".

Lots of $$$ made with Cuetec standard cues. $1,000,000 maybe? Strickland, Allison Fischer, SVB. The Prestige series can't be beat. $125 or so with the maple SST shaft. If it falls against a chair the chair gets hurt . They play as well as cues costing many times more.
