Shurtz
I have played with a Shurtz and know a few others who play with them for 7-8years? Its a 4 point coco and plays good. They put the year made on the butt, mines an 04. I bought mine not even knowing about them, I just felt the quality was there, plus they let me test drive it. Good way to buy a cue is going to an event and test driving cues. Of course they probably not going to let you test drive a Zamboti or collector cue.
