Best Pool Cue? In your opinion.?

There isn't really a "best" cue out there for everyone, but there are a lot of people make very high quality cues. The key is finding one that fits your game (or the game you'd like to play, at least) the best and a cue that matches it.

In general, the "best" cues are those made by custom cuemakers. There are a lot of them out there, and in my opinion the best thing to do is find one that is close enough that you can visit their shop and test their cues, and talk to them about what you personally want in a cue. The biggest name in custom cues right now is probably Southwest Cues, but they are much more expensive than many out there and hard to come by. I personally have a cue by a man named John Madden and it is a spectacular cue.

If you want to go the production (non-custom) cue route, I'd suggest taking a hard look at Predator. Technology wise, there is nobody in the same league as them right now. The buzzword in cuemaking now is "low deflection" and nobody in the business comes close to doing it as well as they do. My current, main playing cue and my break cue are both Predator (P3 and BK2 models), although I still love my Madden cue. I will say that these cues are not for everyone though, so I strongly suggest you find one and test it out before buying.

Just remember when searching for a cue, that you generally get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap cue ($100 or less) you'll get something that plays like a cheap cue. If that's your budget that's fine, but keep in mind that the top tier of quality and playability in cues doesn't really kick in until at least the $300-$400 level (and many cues in that price range aren't even that spectacular). Spend what you can afford and are willing to pay, but if you want a top quality cue be prepared to spend a decent amount of money.
