Show me your Tad Kohara cues...please.

I think I'm missing a lot out there, since the our search engine has a four character minimum. So I wanted to include the full name for future searchers in this thread.

So, if you guys could tell me a little bit about yours--the history, make and purchase, playability--I'd be in your debt.

Thank you thank you.

Here's to 2009!

When I was first looking for a nice cue I was looking to spend around $500. The dealer I went to showed me the J&J catalog and told me just to pick out what I liked. The only cues that I liked were the Tad cues. Couldn't afford one back then. About a year and a half later I bought one from that same dealer through J&J. It is the one 2nd to the right. It was my player for a year. I loved it, balance was perfect, I played really well with it.

The second one I received was from a friend I know from my local pool hall. His friend was quitting pool and wanted to sell it. It was a great deal so I jumped on it. Had it refinished by Tad and it looks brand new. Don't know the exact date but its from the 80s. it's the one in the middle.

Third cue I received the same way through the same friend. It was in excellent condition, it's the zebra wood one.

4th one I got was the Titlist. It's from the late 60's. Has 3 shafts, Cue was also refinished by Tad for the original owner about 9 years ago.

And last is my custom ordered one. I was able to get a custom ordered one. The one I originally wanted was too expensive so I didn't go through with it. A few months later I had the idea of getting a plain one with a fancy butt sleeve. This one has a big pin. Now I wanted this pin because I have been playing with 3/8X10 pinned cues. The feedback is great and the cue still hits stiff (like all Tads).

To sum it up, Tad is my favorite cue maker. I love how his cues play. I like the fact the handle is a little thinner than the average cue, which is good for me cause my hands are small. I hope this is what you were searching for.
