Picked this up in vegas during the BCA's. Came with 3 ivory ferruled shafts. Usually first thing you do when you get a new cue is play with all 3, then pick your favorite. Problem is....they all play about the same...GREAT. Excellent work Mr. tucker and thanks again JJ.

Yeah....it's okay lookin'. If you're into that kind of thing.

;)

Gorgeous cue, sir. Something like that would make me expand my short list of flat faced cues I really like.

Congrats on the pick-up. Really fantastic cue you got there.

The other two ain't so shabby, either!!
 
that may be my new favorite Tucker cue. Been begging Murray for a couple 4 years to build me a cue, maybe one of these days he'll say yes.
 
I agree

I loved that cue from the first time I saw it too, which really solidified my decision of where I wanted to get a hoppe style cue. Simplicity speaks so eloquently to me!

I hope to have my Tucker hoppe soon!!!

Great pick-up, sure it took a bit for Jack to let it go.

I've wanted that Tucker for quite awhile now. It is an awesome cue! Great pickup!
 
Extremely nice pick-up, JR!! I think you'll find that the more you play with one of Murray's cues, the harder they are to put down, they can be a bit addicting. ;) :)

Nice Tucker cue and a very nice collection of cues there, must be hard to decide which one to use.

Not bad for a hobbyist.
MT always made cues that just had the right flow to them.
 
Nice trio "

What is your opinion of the 1/2 joint S" cue Playability , hit, feel ,cue ball control ?

Pretty much what i believe dennis is trying to achieve. The hit of a 1 piece cue. The hit is so lively that drawing the rock takes almost no effort. I have an average stroke at best but to be able to put the CB an inch or two from the left rail on the 1st diamond from the head rail and place the OB frozen on the same rail 1 diamond from the end rail, make it and draw back to the head rail and back to the side pockets....well I'm a believer. I found when i am really in stroke (Rarely anymore) with this cue and a shot comes up where draw is needed and i have overstroked a few beforehand, i find that by choking up a little more really helps, especially when in close quarters. Pretty obvious stuff but just sharing my experiences. Last thing is on both shafts when i first got the cue the last 3 turns of screwing it together were real snug. Almost too much. So i called dennis and he explained it as the "Squeeze fit". I actually liked it but figured that with time it would loosen up but a couple of years later and guess what...still snug. Sorry for rambling on and on. Take care duane.

Thanks for the feedback on the cue, looking forward to getting one, Its Nice to hear someone actually playing with a Searing cue, especially since Dennis' First priority is playability in His cues :)
