Best "production cue" builder

I played with a Pechauer for a few years, and still enjoy shooting with it on occasion. I actually use it with a Klapp OG shaft for breaking
 
Virtually all cues play the same after a while. I play with one for a few weeks, get bored with it, and move on to another.

Can't say i play any better or worse with any, expensive or cheap, and none have fallen apart yet.
 
Mezz hands down. Spent 19 years in Japan working trades (carpenter related), and have been in the trades here in the states for 7 years. So far, based on examples of what I've seen from craftsmen and trade workers, the attention to detail, and pride in ones workmanship over there has exceeded our US standards.
Still very proud to be American, but other parts of the world have caught up.

All you have to do is screw a Mezz together and you will see why they are the best production cue ever built bar none

Pechauer cues are by far the best built production cues in my opinion. They grow their own wood, dry it, season it, and built the cue. They are completely independent company and are in the USA. What more needs to be said. Schon cues would be a high second on my list.
 
1. Mezz
2. Schon
3. OB
4. Pechauer
5. Joss
I've own and played with all these, and many more. But I believe I'll be with Mezz, or at least their shafts, for a while; a real quality product.
 
Hence the name Wisconsin Billiard Supply, I feel we have plenty of options in state. I do believe that each of the brands we are authorized dealers for have their place in the industry. With the technology available today I don't believe a production cue company can make a bad cue if they are using the right materials. I own at least one cue from Jacoby, Schon, Viking, and Pechauer which we are dealers for and love them all and truly believe you cannot go wrong with any of them. I will put it out there that my player is a Runde and I love Bobs cues but he already has outlets here for his cues here on AZ and I respect that, also he builds a limited number of cues a year, so I appreciate my relationship with him for my personal cues. If you want so called production cue call me, if you want a Runde you can find someone he has a relationship with here on AZ, but I do have my personal player for sale, since my new Runde came in a couple days ago.

Tad Production Cue?

Never considered a TAD production but let me know why you feel that way? THx, Tom
 
I vote for Mezz as well. Great playing cues. They also have the Exceed line as well, which closer resemble custom cues.
 
Anybody in Madison Wi that has a Mezz? I would like to see what all they are about. I'll give you a box of Magic Chalk if I can try it out. THx, Tom
 
People rave about Mezz cues for their quality, but how do they actually perform? I've only played a few shots with one but was underwhelmed to say the least. Nowhere near my predator in terms of playability/ease of moving the ball.

They are also STUPIDLY expensive. they had better do something pretty damn special to justify that price tag.

Predator cues are just as expensive.
I have 2 preds and had several others prior to that.
Most predator cues, have unimpressive hit, there is nothing wrong with them, but not much better than other China cues.
My Mezz can move the ball as well as any predator. I have seen, many preds that didn't move the ball well.

However, the WD700 shaft doesn't make the game easier the way 314^2 does.
Btw. Z2 doesn't make the game easier. :)
 
I'm going to say a Lucasi is a good choice for a sub $300 cue.Above that I would look elsewhere.
I play with a Lucasi.
I also know several people that collect cues and have hit with quite a few production and customs.
Some hit a little better and some not as good as my Lucasi.
The only two that have hit much better was a Sugartree and Teds (cuesblues) Tad.
And Phil The Fins wrapless Downey was very good.
Teds Tad- funny :D
 
Mezz is hands down the best production cue out there.
Schon would be my second choice.
McDermott makes some cheesy designs, but their cues still seem to be made with great consistency and I love the fact that they use a standard 3/8x10 pin. It's a shame that McDermott is so absent from the world of pool, can't think of a single player that is sponsored by them and they dont seem to support the sport much..
 
Well talking about production I would have to say at the very least predator has to be up there. There are so many predator cues around I'm surprised they haven't been mentioned more. Adding to that I also believe that Lucasi is up there when it comes to the best bang for your buck money wise in the production world.
