When you have that many cues, it becomes more like a collection ot art work than cues you play regularly.
Since pool cues made by any cue maker, including Tim’s, can differ in how they play & feel, my curiosity is
which of the TS cues in this great collection are the favorite ones to actually shoot pool? It’s easy for me to
narrow the field because of my personal preference for how a pool cue is constructed. It would be delightful
to try all these cues for a few minutes each and pick the top 2 or 3 that stood out for playability rather than
appearance. Nonetheless, a array of cues like in the photo is a rare accomplishment nowadays, at least IMO.

Check your alignment and your ability to see the placement of the tip on the CB, and how straight you stroke:

Place the CB on the foot spot where racks are spotted. Freeze an OB on the head short rail exactly in the center. Some tables might have a brand logo there; some a diamond. If a logo, do your best to find exact center, mark it with a piece of chalk.

Get down on the shot.

To check alignment, look down at the cue. If you are aligned properly, the cue should be DIRECTLY over the center diamond of the foot rail.

To check stroke, shoot at the OB for a full hit. If you hit it square, the CB should rebound exactly down the center of the table. If it rebounds to either side, that tells you on which side you diverged from dead nuts on.

An advanced version of this is to place the OB on the head spot and shoot a stop shot. If hit square, the OB should rebound exactly off the head rail and come back up table and hit the CB square. This will test not only straight cueing but your ability to hit the stop shot with zero side side spin of the CB. If you hit it with even a little side spin on the CB, even if hit square, some side spin will be transferred to the OB and the OB will not rebound square.

I'm not clear on what the intended advantage or market for this might be. If you want a carbon butt, you can certainly have one. If you want the beauty and warmth of a wood butt, those have been around forever.
I suppose there must be some folks out there who think they need a carbon butt but just can stand the appearance??

To me this seems a gimmick. Not sure there is a demand, especially for the quoted price.

Unique one of a kind type Ariel build.

Tremendous quality of build in a one off cue.

Brand new.

Contrary to the OPs post, I couldn’t be happier to see participation trophy wins disappearing, as well as excuses for not cashing out because of anything other than your ability to play to the highest level.

I can’t wait for pool to turn into a white collar activity like tennis or golf, and finally be rid of the jersey-wearers and negative energy.

Wondering why the current hottie had to spin it. There was a perfectly natural cut to the right tit - also ascertainable from the results.

Lol. I trust Yapp's vision at the table far more.

Now Jeff don't worry to much about not seeing well enough to type you forget how some folks on here type and or spell in messages with out a medical issue ha ha !
For me it's a toss up between my non marker Rheumatoid Arthritis and the spell check on this tablet that makes it challenging ha ha !

So in other words don't worry about it to much and get to feeling better !

Nobody ever talks about speed. Chronically shooting everything too hard will completely mask your true ability.

Play very slow shots with pocket speed for a few days and you’ll be amazed of how much more accurate you really are. After convincing yourself of this, you’ll forever add proper speed control to your pre shot routine.

Watch pros and compare their object ball speed to yours. I bet it is much slower on average.

All somebody has to do is look up FR now, takes all the knowledge out of it for everybody
