Bert Schrager. I havent heard that name in 20 years. I still have one of his cues from 1978.
 
His cues are crap,=) (trust me I have 9 or 10) hes one of the meanest SOB's you'd ever want to meet =). But his wife well she's like a ANGEL =), so I'll gladly give all my votes to the "Jack Madden little shop of horrors"

So few people have experience with them they have to be pretty good, if I am not mistaken he has spent significant time with Kersonbrock.
 
I don't have a lot of experience with one but I did get to play with a Bender for a few hours. I didn't personally like it but I've been told by many people they are great players.
 
Searing
Hercek
Black Boar
Kersenbrock
Ginacue

others to think of Schick, Haley, Showman, Manzino, TAD. i'm sure i'm missing a few too

My buy would have to obviously be an investment buy since "I had" to spend it on cues.

Searing (Only because of the resale value)

Mottey (They hit good)

South West (Hit good and resale value)

Gus Szamboti (Resale value)
