The worst hitting cue you've ever shot with...

palmers are one of the best

I bought an old Palmer a month or so ago and decided to go out and play a few games with it and haven't put it down since. It hits better and feels better than any stick I've ever played with. I'm thinking about getting it refinished and a new wrap because I know I'll never sell it now.

As far as the worse, I agree with several here that the newer Meucci's are awful for the most part. Mushy is probably the best word to decribe them.

I have a 74 palmer eight point, four veneers on each point 36 motherof pearl inlay and four mother of pearl rings. I used it as my main playing cue for years. There has been nothing that hits more solid that I have been able to find. I currently play with a six point southwest but the only reason is that the palmer has a 12mm shaft and I hate having to take care of the tip so often.(the reason being that the tip has to be in perfect condition all the time because of a greater liklehood of miscuing, I use a lot of english on most shots) I'm looking for a cuemaker who can make me a new shaft right now, but everyone has a problem with doing the MOP ring on it. I may just have to do it myself with a 314 blank or something. Oh well.
 
I think richard's cues are beautiful but i hated the way they played
had a big clunk sound after every struck ball. Best was probably a judd, mottey, jensen, SW, and Kompan. In no particular order. I can't say too much about anyone elses cues. Cuetec for sure, forgot that one.
 
lol... I bought a J&J on a whim for a cheap break cue... it hit pretty good considering... about 7-8 breaks later, the ferrule was sliding over the rest of the shaft! :o

If you are willing to scrap your old shaft, a cuemaker can use your existing shaft rings on a new shaft.
 
A guy called Dutch had a custom shaft made with a 12" solid copper rod down the center of the shaft behind the ferrule - talk about squirt and no deflection!

Jaden,

If you get a chance, can you visit my website and e-mail me with pics of your Palmer and any info on it? I would really like to see this cue.

I have a Q & A / Talk column going on in it here now. I'm always looking for interesting Palmers.

Just Talkin' Cues

Thanks,

Chris
 
Never really liked any cues with a predator shaft, not real fond of meucci's either unless its a old original.

Cues I like the hit of schons, joss, mcdermott, scruggs, dzuricky, madison bob, bluegrass, and kersenbrock.


Lots of cues I've never hit with that I'm sure are great.

I know there are plenty of posts asking which cues people prefer and love but lets get some opinions on which cues you've used that you would never buy nor use again.
