Stacey Custom Cues

Mike Stacey, based in Noblesville, Indiana, brings both formal knowledge and a player’s perspective into his cue making. As a player himself, he understands firsthand what matters most—feel, balance, and consistency. He began his journey in 1993 working on tips and basic repairs, gradually building a deep understanding of cue construction before moving into full cue making in 1998.

Stacey’s work is defined by clean execution and a strong focus on playability. His cues reflect a straightforward, no-nonsense approach—built to perform rather than impress through unnecessary complexity. Mike has always believed that cues are meant to be played, not just collected, and that philosophy is evident in every piece he builds. The result is a cue that feels natural in hand, performs reliably, and maintains a classic, understated aesthetic. 

Another standout aspect of Mike’s work is the quality of his shafts. Over the years, I’ve consistently noticed how clean and visually refined they are—clear evidence of an extremely strict selection process for his shaft wood. It’s rare to see this level of consistency and cleanliness without a significant price premium—many cue makers offering comparable shaft quality would easily charge several hundred dollars more than Stacey. This further reinforces the exceptional value his cues provide.

What truly sets Mike Stacey cues apart is the value proposition. With a Stacey cue, you’re getting first-tier, USA-made custom cue quality at a modest price. His cues deliver strong playability, solid feedback, and dependable performance, making them an excellent choice for players seeking a high-quality custom cue without stepping into the top-tier pricing range.
