Custom cue options

[sluggerknuckles]

Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for the advice....

I am at the level of pool playing that I feel it is time to move to a better quality cue. I am starting to look at custom cue makers.

My question is how does a person know what a "players cue" or "monster player" feels like when you have limited experience with shooting multiple cues? (I have owned mali, helmstetter, pechauer, and a custom Whisler (nice cue but I don't like the way it hits), and hueblers)

I picked up a used Huebler on here from a member and I really really like the way it hits and feels. I am looking for more just because I like them so much.





Also, Everyone here seems to rave about Tim Scruggs cues, yet I am constantly seeing his cues for sale. If his cues are so great, why is everyone selling them?

I'd like to make you something....I ask specific questions about your game and preference ....And make fresh looking cues.....would you like pictures?

Given that you prefer the Huebler, i'm guessing that you also liked the Mali. A Scruggs will be similar enough to a Huebler. They are great cues. I recall them playing similarly, with Hueblers being a little stiffer. The reason so many Scruggs cues are for sale is because he's been building lots of cues for a long time. There's a lot of them around....especially in the eastern side of the country.

cues

well a mali was my first cue. I bought a used one like 18years ago when I first started playing (then life and college got in the way and it took me this long to get back) and it is still a solid cue. I don't necessarily like it, but its all I know.

I have a helmstetter that I thought I loved (purchased 18 years ago) but the joint under the wrap came loose and i don't think its worth the money to fix.

Now I have a huebler that I love and a pechauer that is a little too skinny and light.

The problem is that there is no where around here to hit nice cues so I guess I am going to have to wait to the allen hopkins expo in march. I am just trying to do all the research I can to learn as much as I can until then.

I did but a whisler on ebay but I really really do not like it. The shaft is too big and I am not used to a wood to wood joint.

How does a person know what a quality cue feels like unless you have hit a ton of different cues?

The Hopkins show is a perfect place for you to find out what you like. There's lots of cuemakers & dealers offering cues for sale. I suggest waiting til then. If you like, I can walk you around & introduce you to some of the builders & dealers I know that offer high quality stuff. It's several months away & i'm sure i'll forget, but remind me when the time comes & i'll only charge you a beer or two :grin: Seriously, if you can't find a cue to fit you at the Hopkins show, then you aren't ready to buy a cue.
