Custom Carom Cue Recommendations???

[crazycueman]

I am interested in getting recommendations on custom carom cue builders. Thus far, I have heard that Dieckman and Kilby are good considerations. Adams, Longoni and Schuler are production carom cues that have also been mentioned. Which way would you recommend going?

I am a beginner straight rail and 3 cushion player who finds the games extremely challenging and fun. I am told that in order to enjoy the games more I should get a "true" carom cue. I am looking to spend $500 or so. Looking for a great playing cue and not necessarily a cue just to collect. I would appreciate any help...

Thank you

Kilby. He uses laminated shafts and has developed a special taper that does not increase in size as fast yet has all the power of larger one piece shafts.
