Former student of mine is going to be in NYC early next year. Recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Greetings from Switzerland, David.

I've been there twice, I remember them carrying Pechauers and some Mezz but I don't remember seeing any custom cues. They're mostly known for tables and custom tables

the expo is in april, and it's being held in new jersey, about an hour drive from queens.

At Blatt, Victor Stein would be the most knowlegeable. Duc Lam (cuemaster98 on az) and Ken Kerner ( high end cues) would be the first ones I would reach out (private dealers) My perception of a custom cue is a southwest, tascarella, or bender. Danny Barouty at amsterdam billiards is an authorized schon dealer.

Like Keith mentioned Super Billiards Expo is in Edison NJ in April. Pretty close to NYC. That would be the best place and time to shop for a new cue.
