Decal cues are the best

You would think with these carbon fiber cues they would throw some decals on it. make them interesting and people would buy it

Just for the record, one of Meucci's decal cues, Hall of Fame 6 (HOF-6) is the reincarnation of MS-3 Originals "Road Agent" or "City of Lights". The Originals Road Agent has sold on eBay for $1200 (Serbian seller claimed it was 'new' condition) and $925 (included a break cue). Today's version, HOF-6, sells new on eBay for $925 @ The Pool Cue Shop.

Out of sheer curiosity, I just bought an Evo decal cue from their Royale series (on the right, in case it wasn't obvious, lol). $104 and, to be completely honest, I do not hate it. In fact, playing with it makes me giggle a little; it's fun and I actually shoot decent with it. It won't be replacing any of my better cues, but I do like bringing it to the pool hall occasionally.

A funny story, the first time I brought it to where I play, a guy playing on the table next to mine came over and asked about it, thinking it was an expensive custom. It was humorous when he found out it was just a cheap decal cue. It's obvious from up close, but from the next table over, maybe not so much.

Their Royale series riffs off of classical cue styles and mimics the expensive, classy, royal approach. A better goal with decal cues is to go where the conventional styles cannot go --- HOF-6 Road Agent, Dia de los Muertos, Evo's Racing

I've had the same experience. I ended up with some decal cues to keep on the rack for the kids and their friends. One day I screwed a good shaft on one and it plays just fine. I would have no problem playing a serious game with that cue (with better shaft).

Overlays.....The coloring is unlike many cues. The stripes are nice on both Rhino cues but the items on the German cue are hokey:

OK. So maybe decal cues aren't the best. Here is a French cue that puts the decal cues to waste. It is odd that in one photo some of the wood has a gold tint while in another it is white.:

just for the record, Inviktcues aren't french cues, they're made in Spain by Esteve Mata, a carom champion from Vic (Catalonia).
 
Longoni's carom cues are more attractive than their pool cues. Here are sophisticated, well sort-of no-skull sophisticated, discontinued decal cues:

I couldn't find on their webpage the cue they worked on in the video:

There are cheaper ones than their Poseidon I posted above. Their model Bocote, for example, is 460 Euros.

McDermott will make a decal cue out of your copy of artwork.
It appears, however, that it must come with a wrap.
Examples from their website are not as good as my Viper Dia de los Muertos

My daughter, an artist, has been designing one.

If we get it made, I will post it, and she will likely do a video of the art process and end product.

She does fantasy art. LINK
