They are both great cues, but over rated.
Southwest and Balabushka.
Too many to list. Don't believe me? Just go over to the Wanted/For Sale section and look at the many cues listed for enormous $$$ that the seller claims "hits a ton", or "plays lights out", etc. Hell, if there is THAT many cues that hit so great, why do they price them as if THEIR cue is the only one made that has a great hit to it (which is 100% subjective anyway)?
Why is one cuemakers wood, veneers, splices, etc. so much more costlier to a buyer than anothers?
Same reason a Hilfiger or Aeropostale $3.00 T-shirt sells for $25.00. It's all in the NAME, baby!!!
And.......us goofy Americans are gullible enough to pay over-inflated prices for almost ANYTHING that has a "name" to it and is the current fad!!!

Super Duper, Black Magic Chalk made by Elves in The Bavarian Forest that cost a gazillon dollars, and is nothing more than Lighter BLUE Chalk that goes on like LIP GLOSS.
Predators are overrated. At least overpriced.
My friend Lambros is a wonderful Playing Cue, my other friend Balabushka pictured below that he sold was one of the BEST Cue I ever hit with.
