Good hitting customs that use 3/8 x 10 pin size?

[No Limit]

All the shafts I have a 3/8x10 pin size and I'd still like to continue using those shafts. I'm just looking for a custom cue maker that has a solid reputation and makes a good hitting cue that has a 3/8 x 10 pin. I intend to play with this so I'm only looking to buy a cue that can hold up to a little abuse.

Thanks for the replies so far. I'll just those cue makers a look. I already have a McDermott sneaky pete, just looking for a nice hitting/playing cue to go along with my sneaky.

I must second Andy Gilbert. I think he makes a cue that hits as good as anything. I had him make me a wrapless 4 pointer. Amboyna burl in the handle and the points, plus boxes around the butt lined up with the points.

I must say that my dealings with Andy were a total model for all other cue makers. He was extremely friendly, understood exactly what I was asking for, made some suggestions to the design I sent him, made me *EXACTLY* what I asked for, and did it all in a very reasonable time frame and VERY reasonable price. I can't say enough about how satisfied I was with the transaction. And I will admit I am one picky customer.

I should also point out that I sent Andy a Predator 314-2 blank. He put the joint in to match the cue. I must say this is the best hitting Predator shaft cue I've ever felt by far. It *almost* feels like a regular solid shaft, but with the Predator performance.

I would definitely give him a call...GREAT guy to deal with!

Is there a way I get a hold of Andy Gilbert? Google doesn't have a website for him.

Jacoby Cues will make you whatever you want and their cues are right up there with the best, and their cues play excellent also.

Trevor Donahue over at Carolina custom cues makes fantastic cues using the 3/8x10 pin. I have a breaker from him & it's awesome.

My custom cue made by Barry Cameron has a 3/8 10 SS pin. I think thats his standard pin size but dont quote me on that.
