With literally hundreds of cuemakers building pool cues of all prices and styles, it seems like every person you ask has a different opinion about which cuemaker is the most popular. To do so, we asked the following question:

"What brands of pool cues do you currently use?"

Because most pool players own multiple cues (the survey showed that 87% of those polled owned at least 2 pool cues), we allowed those surveyed to select as many as were applicable. McDermott topped the list with 25.98% of those polled stating that they owned a McDermott pool cue.
