My list is based on originality alone. Not the hit or looks, but those who have been leaders of bringing us new designs. These are some of the top standard setters. I think each are pretty much unsurpassed for the styles they originated and executed. Look at the very top end cues from each and see if you don't agree with most of these choices.

Gina
David Kersenbrock
Samsara
Billy Schick
Thomas Wayne
 
Paul Mottey
Joss West
James White
Tim Scruggs
Gus Szamboti with a Balabushka alternate.

None of these are in any particular order except for Mottey. He has been and always will be my favorite cue maker.....even though he didn't reply to the last mail I sent him.
