That is a great looking cue and a great traditional design. You just about cant go wrong with one of those. Enjoy it on the table where it belongs and not hiding in a case. Thanks for sharing.
I have to agree how well it plays and how a classic design never gets old. I have a very similar Tasc but with straight grain Maple forearm. No one does a leather wrap better then Tascarella.
I'm a sucker for Rosewood, beautiful cue!
Don't own a Tascarella, but they sure are starting to catch my eye, more and more! Love the timeless they have! And, the ones I've played with, sure do play nice.
I use to own that cue...very early Tascarella (hand signed by Pete). He refinished, upgraded the wrap and provided two new shafts. This cue has history and was owned by a famous road player out of New Jersey back in the day.
The rosewood and veneer work in this cue is first rate. The best looking basic Hoppe cue I've ever owned. This is a keeper for sure...good luck with it.
