Bang for buck it'd be a JD Cue, there's several for sale on AZ right now. I'd personally vouch for Dan (ToomnyQs) Cos I've bought several from him and he's a great guy to deal with. If you want US made then I'd say Prulhire cues think I misspelt it but do a quick search. Change the tip for either of those 2 mentioned and you've got a great player.

Ill sell this DP 19oz with the shaft being 13mm and 4.1 oz. 135.00 shipped.
Dang, I dont know much about Perry Cue's, but this is a really nice looking piece and one heck of a deal. I may be interested if this does not go anywhere.
I've got a Dale Perry that is new. 19.75 oz. I would let it go for 145 shipped CONUS. Pics available with full specs.
