Too many choices to choose just one, many are OUT of this World.

This years poll was much harder to pick a favorite! I chose rackrunners searing for mind blowing execution and cleanliness of work.

I don't see Kenny Koo's Hercek on the list.I saw its pic. Maybe I'm just blind.

Crap... my mistake... please write in votes for Kenny's Hercek. Sorry Mr. Koo... at least I got the picture up.

 

[pfduser]

WOW, is all I can say about Tikkler's Tribal Fusion Manzino! This is the
first time I've seen this cue. This is the best looking cue I've ever seen!

 

[peterskw]

I'll vote for the Hercek, though for me it was about a tie with 25 cues (or more)tied for first.

Thomas Wayne cue blows my mind.

 

[dannylee]

[cueaddicts]

Thomas Wayne cue blows my mind.

I concur....way outside the style I like, too, but it gets my vote this year.

 

[pooldawg8]

Great poll Jamie, thanks for doing this sir.

I feel like it's no contest for that Thomas Wayne for the following specific points:

1) The BB is absolutely amazing, but there are 4 others very similar.
2) The Cathedral cue is amazing, but I feel like the spacing is off between some of the elements. It could have been perfect if the spacing was more even (my OCD gets the best of me on this one).
3) The artistic balance of every other cue pales in comparison.

These are just my opinions of course, so grain of salt and all that.

good to see Scotts getting the recognition he deserves. Also good to see a picture of his cues on something other than that old dirty egg crate material:thumbup:

I agree.

I'll be honest, I don't see cue of the year in a copy of somthing that was done 100 years ago. The Gracio is beautiful and I'd be proud to own it but not cue of the year IMO.

The TW cue offers Originality, Artistic thought about the design, how the design would balance with the highly figured woods. Getting inlays and the figure in the wood too come together and complement but not overpower one another takes the eye of a true artist. From the pictures execution also appears to be top-shelf. All this combines to make it cue of the year IMO.
