In finishing stage. Since the main structure has been ageing for a while now, all it needed were the butt and joint inlays. 7 long ebony points in 30 grainlines per inch Birdseye. Handle is oppose-grain laminated heartwood hard maple with a 36 grainlines per inch parabolic tapered hard maple shaft.
Wrap will be of black exotic skin. Total length 60", weight 19.25 ozs and the balance point is 19" from the butt.

I hope he paid for the cue , or you made a deal with him to send it back if he didn't like the cue. I personally would never trust any cheap ass pool player with a free cue. It's a shame that they can't be trusted, but past experience has shown otherwise. I hope Mark isn't that way, but again I've known to many pool players in my day. I'm hoping for the best, but I know I am just setting myself up to be disappointed.

Thanks Jim. As always, you're a very good friend and give out sound advice. After all that hoopla in the main forum I'm thinking that he's going to be straight with this but it was really my gift to him on the new start that he's doing. Just helping out a fellow who hit bottom.

Edwin, that is extremely generous of you. I too wish him much success on his re-entering the world of professional pool. From what I hear about your work, he should be very happy with the cue. It is nice to see these acts of kindness in today's world. Best to you and best to Mark Tademy on the IPT.

I love the cue. Just concerned Tadd might not like a 60 incher since he never played with one before full time. I am 6'2" and can only play with a 58 incher. Tried 60, 59 and still stay with 58.

But since you did the larger butt cap you can remove the cap and drop it back down to a 58 if he plays and needs a 58 instead of a 60 incher and send a shorter shaft. Pretty smart sir!!!!!

Plus, I like the small ferrulles you used. Just curious about the ferrulle material? What are you using? I cant stand predator being hollow in the ferrulle. structurally that cant be sound? Sound being the key word!!!

Anyway, if Mark happens to send it back and does not like it. I would be interested. Very nice work sir.

On the other hand, I'm 6'2" tall and since moving to 60" cues I hate to shoot with a shorter cue. It handcuffs my stroke so much that I just don't feel comfortable.
