Paul Mottey is a custom cuemaker residing in Pittsburgh, PA. He has been making cues since 1983. The craftsmanship of his cues is truly top-notch. His designs tend to be more classical like an old Szamboti or Paradise cue. That is what attracted me to his cues many years ago. More than that, I really liked how his cue played. I owned a Mottey sneaky pete cue. I loved how that cue played. Why I sold it, I can't figure out. Years later, after regretting that sale, I purchased a four-point ebony and birds-eye maple cue. That cue was georgeous.
Paul only makes one-of-a-kind cues. He'll make the cue to your exact specifications. I saw on his website that he has some unique designs including some impressive scrimshaw work on some of his cues.
Be prepared to spend some money to get his level of quality. If you order from him, directly, his cues start at $1,500. You might have to wait a while for him to make you a cue. He one makes a few dozen cues per year, from what I hear. His cues are beautiful and they play well. I highly recommend them.

If I had a spare $1,500.00 I would get another Paul Mottey. The best playing cue I have every owned. I have small hands and the P. M. butt fit just perfectly.
Chris,
I agree that Paul makes a great cue. I, too, have small hands and his cue did fit my hand very well.
Cheers,

I will send you some pics of them next week when my photograhper gets back from vacation and some prices. Thank you Tony Villalobos . The Paul Mottey is beautiful cue that i played with for a couple of years and then quit playing altogether. It’s like brand new.
Tony,
I’d love to see the cues you have. I’ll, gladly, put them up on the site and try to help you find a home for them, if you’d like.
I loved my Schon that I bought 20 years, ago. I can’t figure out why I’ve sold so many cues that I remember being so fond of…oh well, I must have had a good reason. That Schon was a beauty with 4 rosewood points and some real nice bushka rings sandwiched between silver rings.
Thanks for sharing Tony….I look forward to seeing the pics.
Cheers,
Skippy
