Who makes the best Cue stick?

Answer 1

This is very subjective. McDermott and Viking are two of the largest production manufacturers and are both very successful - anyone owning one of these will tell you the one they have is the best. Some McDermott cues are now collectibles, Viking hasn't yet been recognized as collectible. Meucci is the only major production cue that chose a balance point differently than other production cues, and holding one will feel like a custom cue. Anyone owning a Meucci will say it is the best. In addition to these 3 named, there are others that certainly deserve mention such as Adams, Mali, Brunswick, and of course, Predator.

Answer 2

For a production cue(not a custom job) it's tough to beat a Viking.
