Who makes forward balanced cues?

bbb.....I hope you'll post photos of your Nitti cues........I think he's a fantastic cue-maker.
He made a cue with a southwestern theme with mozaic American Indian patterns.....it
was and still is a cue that haunts me.......the rings were incredible......that's a cue I lust for
and I do not care for brown wood cues usually but that cue won me over. Nitti cues are excellent.

I've had forward weighted cues but the only
one that sticks out in my mind being the most
forward is a Layani by far and they also play fantastic.
 
I have a Barnhart Merry Widow with a much more forward balance than the Schon's I own. More like 20" balance point, which is surprising considering it is 1.28" at the bumper.

Forward Bias, not forward balance

Funny, I had a discussion with someone about this just last week. We are both primarily rotation players, but have taken a liking to Straight pool recently.

Anyway, I have a Jim Pierce cue with a bowling alley shaft, and the butt is cored purpleheart. It's a heavy feeling cue with most of the weight coming from the middle of the cue. We Both noticed how differently it played than our lighter, thin shafted rotation cues. Honestly, we both also liked the stability it gave playing a short table game.

I know Corey Barnhart installs a weight behind the pin in his cues;I have played several of his cues and they all play/feel similar.

Rick Geschrey of Esoteric cues also does the weight behind the pin as well.

just to add: Both are wood to wood (non SS) joint cues
