That depends on what defines "more for the money"....
More playability...
More bling....
More resale value....
More headaches....

Which cuemaker ?
- Thread starter lenoxmjs

I'm not too sure who doesn't make a very good cue ?? I mean, other than the few "crooks" that don't deliver on time, or take the money and run... other than that, it's pretty safe to say, that MOST cue makers make a pretty good product considering everyone seems to like the cue they currently own :wink:
Tough question to answer, but I'm inclined to say Rauenzahn, Barnhart, and Sly. In the past (10-plus years ago) when I bought my first customs, I'd have said Capone, but I had very little experience to draw from.
I'd almost suggest asking which makers are in which tiers and then which cuemaker offers the most in each tier.

And only one would leave.......

Ok .I'll weigh in with my opinion.
I think that dollar for dollar nobody give s a better balance of quality construction, playability, and cost then Jeff Olney or Rick Howard. The work produced by these two guys is stellar. They are usually available for cheap on the secondary market and are very fairly priced when buying direct.

I'm inclined to agree with this going solely off what I've seen here over the years. How would you describe the hit/playability of the cues made by these two cuemakers? Assuming of course you have played with both. I have wanted to try both but have yet to get my hands on either one. Rick is here in FL where I live and Jeff is in IA. I may have to just take a drive over to Rick's some day AND take a road trip to Jeff in IA the next time I get back to WI where I'm originally from. Just not easy to do these days LOL.
Thanks,

Saving the best for last of course.

Amazing work and even better prices.

If you ever get to the Madison area of Wisco and want to try an Olney let me know, I have a couple here. Love the hit and playability of them but am not good at describing and comparing to others as I haven't had the pleasure of hitting lots of cues yet.
Keith Josey is WAY up there with Andy in this category as well...
I'd venture to say it's absolutely Jerry Rauenzahn and most likely, Eddie Cohen & Robert Harris as well.
