Best "production cue" builder

[rubberheels]

Favorite Production cue.

I just got a Schon STL 7 and it is a great hitting cue! It hits as good as my Mottey and my Carolina Custom. And those are 2 fine hitting cues. I got the 30in. shaft w/schons stock ferrule and tip. I have a new Pred. Vantage shaft that will fit the Schon but I didn't try it yet.It will be a few days before I play cause we have a MONSTER snow storm coming to Jersey today!

 

[Drawback]

I don't think it matters. Shoot with several and see which one feels best. I have tried them all and still prefer my Meucci. Why because I used to it. I won the Predator 8K-4 with Vantage LD shaft and it plays nice but I am still trying to get used to the fatter 12.9mm shaft. On my Meucci, I used to like the black dot shaft, but now use the "Pro Shaft" and think it plays the best.

I have owned a Mez, Schon, Viking, Mcdermit, Palmer, Custom Joss West (by Bill Stroud), OB, and Players. I still like the way my Meucci feels, because that is what I am used too.

I love my Meucci's the best, too. I've played Schon, Mezz, Pechauer, Joss, etc., etc., the list goes on, but I love my Meucci's. Especially with the UW shaft.

We call that a dusting in Colorado.
2 or 3 feet in the mountains is nothing.
Here in Denver it is rare.

"The Truth: If you have a stroke the gear don't matter... If you don't have a stroke the gear won't help."


I love that quote!!! I laugh a little when people ask what the pro's use. I saw SVB's cue at Derby City on Saturday, and that thing is beat up. I'm 100% sure he could beat me with a dull tree branch.

I don't really have enough experience with a variety of cues to give an opinion on which is best. I will say this though, Keep in mind the resale value of any cue you buy, especially a lower end cue that you're probably gonna want to upgrade out of in a couple years. Right or wrong, some of these cues definitely hold their value better than others.
