All 4 Makers are some of the best"
Having cues by all 4 , I choose Ed Prewitt...
He makes such an awesome cue and one of the very-best hitting cues in the business"

Everyone likes different characteristics in a cue.
I was hitting them around with Mark Tad tonight and he was using a low end sneaky that someone was trying to sell to him. I hit balls with it and didn't like it. I let him hit with my Varney, which I love. He hit 3 balls with it and handed it back to me. He didn't like it.
My point is that there will be people who will like and people who will dislike a certain cue/maker.
You need to hit with them all and see what you like.
Are you looking for a playing cue?? Or a collectible??

How much money did you win over Mark Tadd? Did you teach him a lesson? He's one of my favor players. Was he on his game?
I'm looking for a playing cue. I know every one likes a different feel, I just wanted to know what those cue are comparible to or how they play.

Hey Monte......
Mark was hitting them pretty good, not great. He hadn't played for a while and was trying real hard to get into stroke. I watched his first match today and he played OK and won. But he is up against some tough competition this week.
I have a super nice TS i'll sell you!!
Take care....

athecat,
I have not hit all the cues on the list so I am not able to make any comparisons, but I play with one of Ernie's original designs that I've owned for over 40 years so I can talk a little about Ginacues. I can tell you it is the best playing cue - for me-that I've ever put to a cue ball and I grew up in Chicago back when Rambows and Balabushkas were plentiful and I've hit many of them. I would assume that a Gina today is at least as good.
So put it this way, I would not drop him for the list. And that's without considering the collectability factor. Besides, you live just over the hill from Ernie's shop so you really could have a good interaction with the maker during the design and construction and end up with a cue truly custom made for you. Certainly you could meet with him and handle some of the sticks he has in the shop. You will not be disappointed.
