It was sometime about 8-9 years ago, i was at Timmys shop getting my ass kicked in one pocket, by Tim. Never mind that i had never played the game before...like it would have mattered..lol I just kept watching him crushing me with this beautiful, purpleheart box cue. I knew deep in my heart that it couldnt be that he was 50 times better than me...............obviously it must be this incredible cue. So finally I decided to give him a break, and I put and end to this fiasco, but first i said let me take a few shots with this bad boy.

Just as I had thought......it was the cue, I didnt want to let it go. As it turns out Tim said it was one of three that they had made. The other 2 were sold, but this one he wouldnt because it had a slight imperfection, in one of the ivory veneers. So he just kept it and used it as his playing cue.

After about an hour of badgering...lol he finally agreed to let me have the cue...AS LONG AS I PROMISED TO NEVER SELL THIS CUE TO ANYONE. I promised, and I wont......

Here it is (without a picture of the flaw)

Great story as well.


Thanks for sharing,

I love everything about that cue, the wrap, the wood and ivory combination, the rings...everything...So clean it looks sterile!!!

The close ups were most likely 2.8@500-1000 in that light depending on ISO(which looked low to me...200-400). I'd say they were taken with an SLR, but P&S's are getting pretty darn good...

The others probably f12 at 150-250.

The light on them is pretty good as is the pictures.

I'm sorry if that viewed as being over the top. I miss stuff too. I was showing him where it was. No worries.

DIBS!!! Another nice Scruggs cue! Cant get enough of Scruggs eye candy! :D
 
Now that there is a major hot rod. I wouldn't have left the shop without that one either. Simply awesome and I really don't like purple heart...but I love this.

Hey

at one point I had 2 of the three made. Unfortunately I sold the black lizard wrap one off.
 
It is probably because it is cut extra small.

Small Cues work best in many players hands.
Timi and Michael were expirementing. They went a little too far. Wasn't a happy day. It was more like well now we did it.
I wounder how few people are in the group of promissing to never sell a Cue and then doing it!
Me and you!
