Leaving out Tasc, Boti, R. Black, Black Boar and the other steel jointed cuemakers. So who do you like wood flat faced. I started with Schon, moved to Black and Black Boar, but much prefer the hit of wood-wood. To me more feeling and not so stiff. I know Gilbert, Scruggs and Pierce hit real nice. Who do the AZ crew like for hit, performance in the wood to wood style of cue construction.
Who are couple of better cuemakers wood to wood joints ?

Just my 0.000002 dollars worth of an relatively new kid in the custom cue world.
I just bought a Judd and Jeff Olney and ordered a Josey that is due in 8 months.
Played with wrapless ebony Judd jt-1 ( 3/8/10) for 2 mths, soft - medium hit, soft and "unreliable" at times for power english shots, in my " honest opinion" , could be a flaw in my stroke!
Bought my Olney ( 3/8/10) n josey( radial ) based on a hell lotta excellent reviews on the Stiffness n reliability .
Will get my Olney in probably a mth and josey in 7mths.
will post review then.
Hope this helps and Good luck finding the anwsers u need !

My Steve Klapp old growth true sneaky is a 3/8x10 flat face. Really quite special. It lives in my trunk and does anything you want. The cue is the teacher.
Desi, Chuck Starkey would have been my first guess.
I bought one of Deano's line of Sneakies that he had commissioned.
Wood Pin and one of the nicest hitting and playing cues that I have had.
I learned to love that cue. Unfortunately, it turned into a banana.
Deano was nice enuff to send me his last cue, one that he was keeping for himself out of the deal. I tried it out and sent it back to him. Half regretting that now.
But anyway, I would go for a cue with a wood pin any day.

Cues
Bobby hunter makes some very nice cues.
My main player is a Coker.

Wood pin cues are the ONLY way to go for me. The hit is sooooo sweet. I'll never part with my Vigus.
I usually prefer stainless steel jointed cues but the wood to wood joint cues that I have tried or owned that have impressed me are below in no particular order.

Wood to wood
I've got a Starkey... real NICE... STIFF...
Other wood to wood (non-production)
John Madden 3/8-10
D'urbin 3/8-10
Dominiak 001 radial
Chester Krick FS 3/8-11 if you want a fancy sneaky... it's a nice one
Jerry Olivier - one of my friends swears by his
Honestly, they all have a very similar-ish hit... the ringwork can make a bit of a difference, but not huge.
