What Cue Do You Use? - Billiards-Talk Forums

Denismh · November 26th, 2006, 12:45 PM

I shoot with a Viking cue for my main stick with an OB-1 Shaft and a fury jump/break cue as my break cue.

Playing Cue:

Break Cue:
X-Breaker

I use an old Meucci (97-15) cue to play with and a Predator Sneaky Pete to break with. They have not let me down yet so why mess with a good thing.

I play with a McDermott Pulse with an I2 shaft. Love it.

Shorty · November 27th, 2006, 11:03 PM

My playing cue is a Schon LTD 642 with a Petree custom shaft, 1.25 ivory ferrule, black lizard wrap by Mike Webb, custom extensions by CueCrazy.

I break with a Colt 18 ounce breaker, 13.5mm, black leather wrap by Mike Webb, hard leather tip.

I currently play with a Phillipi custom that is a 18.7 oz. It is my principal playing cue for 8 & 9 ball playing.

I also play with an ivory jointed Coker custom. It is very loaded up with inlays in comparison to most Cokers. It is 19.3 oz and I use it for Straight Pool and One Pocket playing.

I have a Schon SP #15 that I have had for 23 years. I switch between it and a Bon Runde custom that is extremely loaded with inlays for the 3rd cue that sits in my playing case.

Playing cue: Right now I have a 314 on a Players cue, but Brent (BHQ) is making me 2 butts to match the 314. Both are wrapless ,BEM forearm and butt, with the handle being cocobola on one and bacote on the other. Can't wait

Breaker: J&J J/B

zcat27 · December 4th, 2006, 01:58 AM

I have four that I move between. Mike Capone, Hoppe Style. Skip Weston, Hoppe Style. Chad McLennon (CAM Cue), Plain Jane BEM and Paul Dayton, Ebony w/6 Bloodwood Points. Absolutely love all four of them!

Well hopefully by monday Dec 4, i'll be using my BHQ cue. I bought "The Beast" from Brent.

I've been using a Zim cue ( Micheal Zimmerman ) which, i've been using since about May. I like the cue, but just something about it, makes me like 50/50 about it. I have a SP that Zim also did up for me, and I like that cue ALOT better. For some reason the shaft on the SP has a stiffer hit.

So, I've been using the SP for a while now, kinda giving both cues some love.

As for my breaker, i just have a Action SP with a phenolic ferrule/tip on it.

But I am really excited about getting the new cue from Brent, its ALOT heavier 22.25oz, but i love using a heavier cue.

One pocket- Kikel or Olney
8 ball- Coker or Joss

Sweet Marissa · December 5th, 2006, 01:04 AM

My playing cue is a Jacoby I designed. Forearm is cinnamon-tinted birds-eye maple with five ebony spliced points with veneers. At the base of each point are white holly french diamonds with baby pink mother of pearl in the centre. The butt is ebony with five matching french diamonds as in the forearm. The wrap is all black Irish linen, and the joint is stainless steel with dual silver rings at the joint, wrap, and butt.

I break with a Rick Howard Mace or Predator BK2.

toni4ball · December 6th, 2006, 08:02 PM

I custom designed my Jacoby about 4 or 5 years ago.. and I love it! It was hard to get used to, after playing with a Joss Hustler for 10 years...I didn't like the wrap, taper of the shaft, or weight right away, but after having the shaft tapered and removing the weight bolt - it's wonderful. I still keep my Joss and use it as a break cue, and when I'm feeling like I can't make a ball I use it to shoot - kind of like a safety blanket.

One Pocket Smitty · December 6th, 2006, 11:21 PM

I play with a Jerry Olivier ebony with 4 Ivory points and a Lizard wrap. 19.5 oz.
I also have a Shon with 4 floating Ivory diamonds that hits very well.
I break with a Olivier Jump/ Break.
