He will eventually be the best and self taught.
He is a pool cue influencer. He's already getting tons of views and showing people the trade.
Hopefully this breeds more creative cue makers.

I think I would've developed a drinking problem during that lotus cue. That part where he mistypes a decimal point in one of the machines, ugh, i just felt awful seeing that
And that's the reason they ALL play/hit Solid!

There is no doubt in my mind Searing cues could be some where on top of the list BUT!! He should spend more time in the shop than on the golf course and have the decency to comunicate with his customers. Same goes for Shoman and Szamboti they just don't make enough cues. So for that reason my list would be Tascarella, Hersek, and Black Boar.

Blackboard doesn't make much either. Don't know how many Hercek makes but Tasc is up there. They regularly make cues and answer emails and phone calls.
I've seen his channel as well, and if I had some extra change, I would definitely order a custom cue from him.
I don't think we can only have two categories of investment and playability. Cleanness of work and Intricacy of design also need added.There’s only two categories…investment and playability. Some fall into both but how many top tier players are playing with high end cues. It’s all personal preference, it’s like saying which is better a steel joint or wood to wood…or the famous ivory sleeve over steel
This has been debated many years over but it’s an interesting topic…you just have to define what makes one cue or one cue maker better than another.
I put Danny Tibbits and Dennis Searing near the top spot for cleanness of work. For Investment: who knows because what is hot today may drop in value over the months and years to come. That is like playing the stock market. For Intricacy of design Thomas Wayne, the Drexlers, Black Boar, Tonkin, Pechauer, Jacoby, Manzino and so on. For Playability that is all in the hand of the player. What feels good to me may not feel good to the next guy. There is whole field that has pretty much been abandonded and that is intricacy of design that inlays were not cut with CNC. Danny Tibbits early work with his Vase and Ivory Columns would make him a contender in that category. Bill Schick would probably get my vote as one of the top non CNC inlay artists if we were bringing in deceased makers, especially since he never went the CNC route. The Schragers also pulled off some pretty fancy work with a Pantograph. David Kersenbrock is a master with the Pantograph and may be the best living non CNC intricacy of design cuemaker.

Same, It would be interesting to discuss some concepts/themes and then just cut him loose and see what he comes up with.
A lot of Andy Gilbert cues were made using pantograph. His wife helps him in this area iirc.

Ohhh lol, we talked about it on Reddit the other day then.
Probably, was it for the post where I shared my cue collection?
I have an STL4 that plays lights out to me. They make good cues.
