Most Under Valued Cue Builder

Well now I know his last name, CA Joey.
I would add Dave Kikel to the list. I have a stunning cue he made, two locals are considering it at well over 5 grand. After I refinished it I decided to play with some older cues I have. My game went into the toilet for two weeks. Finally I pulled out my Kikel and the balance and play was ten fold better than my old cues. So I took it off the market after realizing I already had my holy grail of cues.. I have owned lots of other cues but this one is special..
Runde is the most under rated cue builder in my opinion In history. I’ve read every bit of info on this site about Gus, Runde, and Schon and Gus recommended selling Schon’s to his dealers, supposedly saying he had no idea how they could build a cue for the price at the time. I wasn’t there but I believe it.
Dz builds a lot of cue for the money. Another poster mentioned DBK, he built excellent playing cues for not a lot of money. Sad we lost him. Some of the other guys mentioned get their due and make incredible cues as well. Blackcreek, Jerry R, Gilbert, Kikel. They all build great cues (some monsters even) and are priced accordingly. The term undervalued can be subjective on this topic. I consider it to mean a lot of cue for not so much money. You can find a Blue Grass Merry Widow for under 2k and will never go wrong. There is so much talent out there to appreciate
Merry Widow for ~2k equates to underrated or undervalued?
No disrespect intended, Bluegrass cues are delightful, but your post seems way off topic
Jim McDermott is man behind company bearing name McDermott.
Local Arizona guy who using to win Mike Howerton Desert Classic Event, over all year after year played with two McDermotts Plan Jane Widows. Playing Cue, and Break Cue.
There were bottom line, ring less Widows Cues. He Tip of choice at time LePro.

I did say UNDER 2 k. As I said in my post a lot of cue makers mentioned in this thread get their due and have built monster cues. my point was you can get a great player for not a lot of money such as a BG MW or a sneaky even. U must have skipped past the rest of my post as well. Original poster asked who builds the best cue for the money. Cheers!
