In memory of the one the greatest cue makers.
These tad are awesome, anyone here has any tad for sale?
Runner....if your cue had a flat ivory joint and cap, it would be a cue I'd dream of owning........wonderful design.

Bava, my buddy has the Tad you described, like mine, only ivory inlays instead of pearl, and the flat ivory joint Tad did. While playing we've swapped cues just to see what the differences would be, and honestly, they both hit like TADS... nice stiff hit,
very low deflection, draws the ball a ton.
Tad's designs to me are classic old-school.. in the GB and Szam tradition. He was a
true master of his craft.

Runner.....your cue personifies what a Tad cue should look like.......timeless.....truly representative of his creativity......symmetrical.......colorful.......classic beauty & elegance........this is like a banner cue for Mr. Kohara's great workmanship.........Congrats on owning a piece of pool nostalgia and a cue for the ages.

Mr. Tad Kohara
I full agree about Mr. Kohara's workmanship... IMHO, he'll always be one of the most revered cuemakers of all time, maybe up there with Gus and George!
Thanks, brother... I definitely like the classic look, all made by hand, no CNC..

Tad cue fans out there, may i ask if there is a reason behind Tad choosing birdseye maple for a majority of 90% of his cue ?
Rarely see a tad cue with ebony or cocobolo forearm.
Is bem a major factor behind the way a Tad cue suppose to hit ?
Anyway, have always appreciate the workmanship of Tad cues , enjoy shooting tad cue lovers

I think he just did it to keep things simple and for the look he wanted . Just like his joint rings and linen wrap color.
He has used purpleheart and stained zebrawood .
I think George Balabushka was a big fan of straight grain maple........I think that Joel Hercek has an affinity for curly maple.........personally, I am strictly a BEM cue collector.
With the right patterns and stain, I have yet to see any other wood that looks better in the classical type design cues I prefer. I have two cues underway right now with two
different cue-makers. Both asked me if I wanted to use a different wood for my cues and I told them to pick the prettiest BEM they had for my design......the biggest challenge
was not the pattern of the BEM but rather the weight........I prefer lighter weight cues and strictly with BEM forearms and ebony points & sleeve.

Fred told me that they limit the amount of cues done in other woods to keep the rarity of those cues.
