I agree with what Paul says - Jacoby (out of Wisconsin) is an excellent cue! Same with Viking and Meucci! Other cue makers in Illinois include Blackheart, Schuler and Marriposa... ("tournament" custom cues are quite expensive) Actually holding/feeling the cue is important when making a purchase decision. Also check out

Chris and I still consider ourselves "beginners" ergo the Players cues!
