If we are talking strictly "playing"...I would put the Becue up against just about any cue.
Everybody has different tastes, as far as "hit and feel", but I have never hit with a cue that hit any "better" than the Becue.
I've read alot about this becue would love 2 try one, I look around Derby City this year and didn't c any.
Also I read all 9 pages and only 4 people said Mike Johnson of Jensen Cues now I have own alot
of great cues from great makers but I know for a fact Mike has and does make some of the best
playing cues in the world.
You can ask countless road players about Mikes cues and I promise they'll say
he makes awesome players cue.
He's been turning shafts since 1969 there's some great shaft wood hanging in his shop.
who do you think makes the top 5 playing cues
can be simple design from collectible cue makers or not
Let’s see, five top playing cues:
1. TAD
2. Tad
3. TAd
4. TaD
5. Tad
I guess that I may be a little prejudiced.

I don't think I could give a best hit list without trying to give the who do what they do best. I am partial to one style of hit, but I will give the ones I think do their style hit really well.
South West (solid hit)
Older Meucci (Very High action hit)
Tibbits stainless joint (straight pool players dream cue)
Hightower (Medium stiff higher action hit) I am very biased :smile:
Gilbert (Stiff firm hit)
Bludworth (Medium high action with low deflection)
Dieckman (Stiffer hit with wood thread joint)
My personal experience list of cues I have owned:
Steve Klein
Perry Weston (rip)
Tim Scruggs
AE Cues
Nova
nitti is my player and i strongly recommend him as a cuemaker....:thumbup:
Agreed! Everyone that pics up and plays any of my TAD’s just goes wow! They immediately make an offer which islow ball. Not that I would sell them anyways.

I don't know Barry Szambotti, but I did know his Dad. So, personal experience only:No Black Boar fans out there?????
I'd, also, throw Dennis Kepley (of NC) in the mix!
Maybe it is due to the fact that Schrager and Padgett were both west coast makers that they dont get much mention, I had a Schrager built in the late 80's most likely built by Tim and several sneaky petes built by Tim and really never had anything else to compare them to. Well I take that back I bought a Joss and played with it for a while and when Tim saw me playing with it he said he would make me a cue, Time, money, and life interfered. Nut Bert is if I am correct in the hall of fame!
