The answer to this is subjective.
All the US custom cue makers are good in their own right, the term "best" depends on what you refer to. The most intricate designs are only made by very few cue makers, and those made by hand are fewer still. By many people's measure, the level of intricate artwork measures the cue makers skill.
However, some cue makers concentrate on craftsmanship of the cue, not artwork. Artwork on some of the "best" cues is performed by a craftsman other than the cuemaker. An example is Sandra Brady who is an expert ivory scrimshaw artist that has worked for cue manufacturers but does not make cues.
"Best" can refer to satisfying hte customers neds in the design - Michael Wagner of Raven Custom Cues has spent many months working with a customer for acceptance of the design of a cue before even cutting a piece of wood.
Each custom cue maker has their own strengths and weaknesses, and "best" will be determined by who meets your needs the best. Meet with your custom cue manufacturer and look at their work and how they will work with you before ordering a custom cue. However, the best custom cue manufacturers will charge a lot for even the simplest lookingof cues, so be prepared to "get what you pay for".
What else can I help you with?
Can you fit a snooker tip in a pool cue?
No. The typical snooker cue tips are much smaller than the typical pool cue tips. So, you can fit a pool cue tip to a snooker cue, but not a snooker cue tip on a pool cue.
Who is the best cue maker in the world?
This is a subjective question that cannot be answered - there is no "best" but there are many good cue makers. The best cue makers have attention to detail and while they may use computer aided cutting, turning, etc., the cue construction is essentially by hand. They make sure that wood goes through multiple drying stages and have other checks throughout the process that cannot be performed by any mass production of cues. There are dozens of high quality cue makers today, and none could be identified as "best", except by an individual personal opinion.
Who are Americas best custom pool cue makers?
Popular is a subjective word. There are dozens of excellent custom pool cue makers in the US, and depending upon what someone is looking for, some are better choices than others for many reasons. So, without listing at least 25 great custom cue makers, this answer is only a starting point, and is not meant to take away from the fantastic work performed by those not mentioned. If a fine handcrafted cue is wanted without any fancy work, Barringer Cues has been well known for decades, and also Mariposa. If fancy work is desired, the question now goes to how long do you want to wait and how fancy - Joss, Longoni, Pechauer, Raven, Schon, among many others, can provide the work. If true artistry is desired, the custom cue maker that works with an artist is needed - pdf Studios has been noted for this (several people worked to make the well known $50,000 Hustler cue), Richard Black is another, as is Paul Mottey. If you want the most popular, you may mean those that have sold the most, but this certainly does not make them better or more popular. Each custom cue maker has their own approach and only a handful can most likely fulfill your needs if you have a specific project in mind.
