I'm looking to get a new cue. I'm looking for a high end production/low end custom. I'm not looking at sneaky pete's because I don't want to pay that much to get something that looks like a house cue. From what I've read Pechauers, Jacobys and Cokers are talked about pretty highly for what they cost. Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to hit with any of them and I'm just looking for some opinions.
Can somebody tell me how these three compare? Do they have similar tapers? How do the hits compare? How does the quality of the craftsmanship and materials compare from one to another?
 
Choices....

If you prefer a wood to wood joint.... COKER!

If you are clear thinking - right minded individual (such as myself) and prefer a SS jointed cue - Pechauer. Unfortunately - the Pechauer designs seem a little bit "unusual."

** The Jacoby "Custom" line has some great looking, great hitting cues. Take a look at billiardwarehouse.com at the Jacoby selection. You cannot go wrong for the price ---- !
 
Custom Value for the money

Runtboy -


If you looking for best cue value for the money, I recommend Gilbert. Contact cueaddicts.com as they have several, or look on ebay.

Wonderful hit, good resale and the most cue for your money, I recommend Gilbert.

JMHO

I know Gilberts to be a good value for a custom cue, but I'm looking to spend less money than that would require. It seems like Pechauer and Jacoby are a good value in production cues. Both are available for less than 200. I know Cokers cost more than that but they do come with a second shaft.

Seems like from the responses any of these cues are ok to go with and it just comes down to personal taste.

Does anybody have any input on the Pechauer speed joint? I haven't heard anything about these. Do all of their cues have this screw?
 
I have a newer Pechauer with the quick joint. I have one similar to the PS14 what a beautiful cue for the money. Still straight as an arrow. I like the joint with just a couple turns and it's together. If you get one without a wrap, make sure you can get the weight you want. Mine is 19.6 without a weight bolt. It is heavy because of the types of wood used. I think all of the cues with wraps you can get whatever weight you want. I like the way Jacoby looks also, but I think they run a little bit more money. I think you would be happy with either.
