Have you finally found the perfect cue?

Finally yes. Diveney cocobolo plain Jane with g10 radial pin, micarta joint, Lakewood shaft and micarta ferrule.
I recently (2013) had a custom made. I spent weeks looking at different woods,designs,points,inlays, etc. had the cue a little thinner diameter than normal (stubby fingers) 95% of the cue was all me while the other 5% was cue makers professional input. I love the cue, but I loved the process and the freedom of design even more! Perfect cue maybe/maybe not but I'm probably gonna make another one!
Yes. Mezz.
I picked up my Wes Hunter (Hunter Classic) in 2006 from Bill at Cornerstone. He let me stay and try every cue I wanted to hit. I must have been there for 3 hours, finally I picked the Hunter and I have played with it ever since. I have bought and sold at least 40 cues since then and nothing fits and feels better then the Hunter. So I guess you could say I found the perfect cue for me. And I want to
thank Cornerstone Billiards for hanging in there with me.

Old Dufferin green label, butt heavy and a couple of shaft dents about four inches above the loose ferrule. I just beat the seven ball ghost with it....oh yes I almost forgot the shaft has a little warp.
I take on the SBG a couple of short races every night and use a different cue, tonight it was the old Duffs turn.

Well for the moment I have but I find cues like my woman when I find the one I like it feels real good but that wears out over time , yet there is always one I still go back to like a old flame ,, reminds me of what a guy told me yrs ago show me the best looking woman and I'll find you the guy who got tired of it ,,
I have that one cue I go back to but I'm always looking at something else as it's replacement then back to the closet it goes

Perfect cue? No such thing.
i have always liked certain cues and not liked others
i like south west cues hit the best ,but i tend to sell them
lately i have been ordering cues from Bob Owen,Jerry rauenzahn,Bob Runde and
to be honest all of them are as close to perfect as you can get
i love the looks and the play
i can pick up either one and play my best
now my best is not really great pool,but with these cues it is way better
than the cues i don't like
funny thing i had a gus and barry and i liked the play on both of them too
the gus was 59inches,21 ounces nd i really liked the play
the heavy cue seemed easier to control and hit with speed
i am not saying the cue doesn't matter,it does,i am just saying that
i have several that i love to play with
i think it helps that i am trying not to hit much english,side causes me too much touble

I'm always thinking about buying another but then I think about the bit*hing from my wife I will get. For now, I am very happy with the Phillippi cue with snakewood points and ivory butt/joint/inlays.
Honestly, the best thing about the cue was the Onyx tip that I changed out... the cue was near perfect until I had that tip... now it is even nearer perfect. Of course I am sure there is a cue that is even more nearer nearer perfect! Just don't tell her!

I got my perfect cue from JoeyInCali (Bautista). While at his shop I have hit with quite a few of his cues and would have gladly taken any one of them home. Consistent. So much so I have a Brazilian Rosewood on order. I haven't had near as many cues as many on here but I have stopped looking for anymore cues.
I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect cue.
I have had some really nice cues both production and custom and after a while I always switch to something else, not because it' better, but because I get bored and want change. I played with WX900 shafts for three years and thing it's a great shaft, but found that I pocketed more balls by switching to a shaft with slightly bigger tip diameter.
I now play with the EX Pro shaft and play very well with that shaft, but I still bought a Bob Danielsson cue a few days ago as I'm curious as to how his cues hit.
Since I also repair cues and now is in the process of making my own cues, I have a million things I want to try out that regular player never even think of.
First order of business is to bulid myself a new break cue. It's gonna be about 19oz, stepped purpleheart core, narrah handle and cocobolo or katalox forearm and buttpiece. Juma buttcap and joint collar, wavy SS pin and a stiff tapered grad AA maple shaft with short G10 capped ferrule and Taom tip.
