For The Price & Great Feeling Cue
I must say that Bob Owen is the most underrated cue-maker I know of and he makes a amazing pool cue. It's a toss-up between my Prewitt and my Owen cues which hits better and right now I give the edge to Bob. After Ed sends me the new shafts he's making, I suspect it's going to my best playing cue but the darn cue costs a lot more and so it should.
Based upon the aforementioned, for the price and overall value and feel, Bob wins that race hands down. Now I have another candidate coming in 2 months or so and that's a custom Jerry Rauenzahn. I'll let you know how that turns out and I think it could turn out to be the best hitting and best price/value cue I own....stay tuned.
