What kind of cue are you using?

[SquigyMcFlerpen]

We have custom cuemakers in the Montreal area? I did not know that. What does your EB cue look like? Just curious.

My main playing cue is an Ebony Southwest with blue/red/blue veneers. I also own:

-Purple heart sneaky pete (with some ringwork) from Madison Bob
-3 piece travel cue by Sheldon Lebow (and custom Nitney envelope case).
-New cue by Terry McFadden (local guy in Denver), birdsey maple with ebony points and red/blue veneers. Almost the opposite of my southwest
-Huebler sneaky pete
-Jacoby sneaky pete
-Showcase jump cue
-Showcase break cue (short, like 52" long and 16 oz) which I don't use anymore.

Was using a RC3. A real nice cue but too good to get beat around in the bar leagues. Am now playing with a Perry Weston Hustler cue that was made from a Schmelke blank

http://www.schmelkecue.com/index.php?cPath=5_47_54&osCsid=qd7j9nam9osaakdu78oqvipsl4.

Cue only weights 16.8 oz and is a real solid hitter. Does not feel or play like a light cue.

other

Players butt with Universal Smart Shaft for playing & Sledgehammer for breaking. I'm thinking of experimenting with a G-10 or G-11 tip + graphite cue for breaking.

I have tried many cues. I like Shurtz, Dave Kikel, Jeff Olney,
Ray Schuler original, Dale Perry, Pat Diviney, but my favorite, definitely,
is my Tim Scruggs.
I mainly play one hole and the feel & hit I get is perfect for
me.

One of the things I love about AZers is that no matter
how many times this thread comes up, we all jump.
We just love to talk about our cues!

I play with a Dale Perry cocobola and turquoise and OB-1 shaft. My break cue is a Lucasi J/B and backup player is a Schmelke butt with a Sharpshooter shaft.

 

[Jallan]

McDermott D-13 with 12mm original shaft; It's old, a little crooked, dented and dinged. I get new cues, shoot for a week and guess what happens, back out comes the McD D-13. Break with plain Jane viking. I have a Chad Carter custom on the way.... 6 weeks
