Is your most often used cue and favorite cue, the same?

What brand/model/cue maker butt and shaft do you most regularly shoot with? In a handful of discussions that I have had, sticking with the same cue is recommended for skill development or to play consistently. Anyone disagree with this?

1995 Meucci 95-11 Rainbow Stained Birdseye Maple with Original shaft.
I have been considering picking up a Keilwood shaft.

Well, over the years I came across 3 cues that I love, not for how they look, but for their playability. 2 old school SS 5/16x14 simple 4 pointers, 1 flat faced ivory joint cue. They get rotated regularly as I believe cues should be played.

My regular is a Schuler SC-250 from the late 1990’s. I now mostly play with a CF from Noel Mendoza. It has a good amount of cueball deflection (squirt), and I believe in CF so I’m making a go of it.

My favorite cue is my Tascarella with a Tascarella shaft.

My favorite CF shaft is a Bull Carbon, but it won’t fit the Schuler, which is a 22mm diameter, and its recessed pin only sticks out ~three thread. There is no adapter for the Bull Carbon to fit the joint. Wes Bond would have to make a Schuler-specific shaft for pool.

I do also have a magnificent Jacoby Black latest model, built for the Schuler (off-the-shelf offering for Jacoby), but the low squirt.. I know I would need to commit to it for quite some time to get comfortable shooting all the shots. At my age and decline, it might not be worth it to upend my already dismal game.
