Eddie Farris
because whenever he makes something, it with his entire heart and soul. His cues may not be fancy, but they are well put together, and it's something that's going to last a lifetime.
Most of the top players in my town play with a Farris because of this underlying principle. "They're made well and play real good."
I've hit with a good number of cues, and I must say that there are a number of good ones out there. Sugartree is one of the only other ones I'd pick because of the simplicity and playability.
Kerry Zeiler though (Zylr Cues) is another of whom I hadn't tried. His principle ideas behind cue building appeals to me immensely.
