Which cue

Just curious and this is for those of you that have more than one cue. I am assuming if you have more than one cue chances are they are by different Masters, builders or manufactures. If you had to play the game of your life, which cue would it be?
 
Cues can favor certain conditions....so I would have to know the table
before I chose the cue.
As an active player, I had a Szamboti for slow tables, and a '68 Joss for
fast tables...and about 10 other top cues that could handle both speeds.

And some days you just FEEL different, so you need something else.

At one pocket, it was always the '68 Joss.
 
Depends on the game...

My 1985 Clay Etheridge Showcase Billiards Hustler Cue. I have taken down quite a few players with this cue. Also,exploded a cue ball breaking with it at Winner's Choice. Custom spec's 58 1/4 Inches, 1 1/4 " Hard Fibre Ferrule, Triumph Tip with a wafer backing, 19 1/2 oz., Slim Taper Butt, and a 14 inch drop on the shaft taper at 13.25mm.

The picture has it along side my Gary Medlin Gem Cue from 1993.

My Dickie Neighbors tulipwood into birdseye sneaky pete. No matter what different cues I try I always end up coming back to it.
 
I try to shoot with all my cues in practice, because if I'm out shooting with friends I won't take my best cue, but in a big game, no other cue would suffice than my Bob Thompson , 12.4 laminated shafts, one with hard tip one with soft, forward weighted with ivory joints and ferrules at a whopping 20.4oz, I've had 3 other cues of his that all shot great, but never compared to the feel of this one. Didn't even think I liked heavy cues before trying this one
 
I have a Cocobolo / birdseye I built about 10 yrs ago , still have the maple shaft, Ivory ferrel and forgot what tip , but it works , when I need something I know will work , that's what I use . 17.4 oz . 59" 12.85mm

Not much in style anymore , but still works great .

I like all of my cues. If I had to narrow it down it would be a toss up between my Mike Bender and my Jim Buss.
