Curious as to what cuemakers or production cues you've owned. I've had the following.

Joss, Schon, Porper, Mcdermott, Meucci, Mason Hougland, Joey Bautista, Sugartree, Scruggs, Nitti, Stacey, Carter, Madison Bob, Dzuricky, Duffern, Valley, Varney, Jensen, and a few others whose names aren't coming to mind right now. Will edit when they do.

All told I've had more joss and scruggs cues than anything else.


Custom Huebler, Steve Klein, Mike Lambros, Richard Harris, Rick Howard, Richard Hsu, Joss West, production Pechauer, Predator, and my first cue which was a sneaky pete Dufferin.

South West
Phillippi
Lomax

Bluegrass
Omega DPK
Bender
Dishaw
Bludworth

Let's see here......

You name it, I've owned em ( Production wise at least ). Kinda went through a whole buy, test, sell, repeat phase if you will. But now I settled for my main player's cue ( which is my only cue at the moment ), my custom Judd JT-1. I will be acquiring 2 5 fancy ring design Prewitt's, and currently being made is my Ginacue, another Judd,a McCosh ( a custom cue maker from my area, makes awesome hitting cues! ) and last a Whitsell ( David Whitsell out of San Diego ).
