Just wondering what everyone looks for in the design of a cue. I know we all want a cue that has a hit that's compatible with our playing style, but beyond that what are you "must have's" and "must not have's" on a cue. Here are mine:

Must have: I want a cue with at least 4 points and they must have verneers or I'm not too interested. I like classic styled cues versus the artistic styles.

Must not have's: I won't own a modern cue with MOP inlays, I just don't like the look. Secondly (I know I'm not with the majority on this), but I don't like butterfly points.

Another note, this is a thread to just have fun with, don't flame people for their opinions, it's their taste.

Must have: Spliced points or no points, nicely figured examples of my favorite woods (cocobolo, ebony, amboyna, snakewood, bacote, rosewood, etc.) and a leather wrap or no wrap. I too like the classic style of cues but think you can get pretty artistic with a classic styling.

Must not have: CNC points/floating points or rounded off inlays.
