Production Cues used by Pro Players

[Rosewood]

Are there any Pro players that use Viking, McDermott or Joss cues? Just curious.

There would be plenty if they paid them to as a number of other production companies do. I recall that SVB was playing with a Joss butt when he entered the pro scene.

Pretty much said earlier...pros tend to play with whoever gives a good sponsorship deal... Probably not something I'd consider when cue shopping is which pro uses what cue.

Cory Deul plays with Meucci if I recall correctly, but I am sure it is tweeked to Cory liking.

Think most Pro will play with what put most money, or stuff they can flip into money to fill wallet with greenbacks.

Can't name any known player currently using the brands mentioned.

Thought it was a Schon R2 butt. Maybe Joss shaft?

I think it was a Joss butt but he did have a Schon shaft on it for a while.

Asking pro players about pool stuff their sponsors sell, is like asking a hooker which brand of mattress she prefers.

He's used every cue known to mankind. Whoever would whip the freebie or slide him a little $$ he'd use. Yes he did use Lucasi's when they first came out. Both he and Jeremy Jones had signature lines of Lucasi's.

Pro's don't buy cues. They play with whatever they can get for free or get some sponsorship $$ with.

Good Lord! If I hear that one more time I'm going to puke! Lol

I assure you, the pros that use these cues go to the factory and hand pick one or two themselves. They go through probably many dozens until they get the ones they like. They are not just using one that somebody sends them. They are cherry picking. They are carefully picking their arrows.
