See you live in Savannah. Ever talk to Keith Josey? He makes a REAL nice sneaky that iirc starts in the $500 neighborhood. http://www.joseycues.com/cues.php

Oh I definitely talk to Josey, we're Facebook buds and he's done a bunch of tips and re-wraps for me.
A Josey is definitely in the cards. When I do get one, I want a little higher end.
For production cues, my wife loves her merry widow style Jacoby. She says no if I suggest a new cue for her...
I have to give a shout out to Lucasi.
I've had the same Lucasi for 10 years and it is still straight and the finish is like new.
You can get a plain one for $200 or so.
As far as how it hits thats entirely subjective.
Well.... I went with a Mezz Sneaky, just pulled the trigger on it a minute ago.
I'm very appreciative of all the help guys, and if I lose any more games, it's all j2pac's fault!
Cool. Which one??Well.... I went with a Mezz Sneaky, just pulled the trigger on it a minute ago.

Your "mighty Lucasi" hits good, but the Lucasi cues I had hit better.
That's no shit
Lucasi's are made by TaiCan/Universal in China. That factory makes several brands(Lucasi, Predator, most ADAM,and others). They make over 30,000 cues/month. They buy a LOT of wood and cure it correctly. Very good cues.Reading thread from front to back, consistencies found.
@1 Older
wood was very different then than now, we replant tree's and harvest wood between 10 and 20 years.
example: Brunswick used wood from trees aged 75 or 100 years, more.
That's no longer the case.
#2 Lucasi
The Lucasi custom cue is a strong player in the billiard Industry, consistent.
I don't know how they do it, their cues top out time and time again, Lucasi builds a good cue.
They know wood and how wood works, wood has secrets, Lucasi knows those secrets.
#3 McDermott
Older McDermott's are always mentioned, especially the C and D series.
Again, the woods used had been growing for a long time before harvesting,
pool cues made from 90 year old wood play exceptionally better than cues made with 20 year old wood.
Why didn't anyone mention Meucci
(just kidding)
Josey, Keith Josey makes a strong pool cue, excellent choice.
