Expensive huh? This is funny.
We have seen them Nick. Closet queens are common.
How do I play with such an expensive Cue?
Nick
You take it out of the case, screw it together and hit the cue ball with the end that has the tip! Those all look pretty standard. What do you estimate the value at?
It wasn't planned. He can't find anymore.
No closet queens allowed.
Now if I could just learn to play?
Ya that's it,
Nick

Probably 5 to 6 times more than anyone else would place the value at.
But if I know Nick, I'd say these are all "special builds". And so while you and I might only see a cue worth $2k, Nicky "knows better" and somehow it's worth $9.5k.
Nick......you asked "How do I play with such an expensive Cue?"
The answer is obvious.......................................a lot more enjoyably.
The real question should be "How do you not play......"
You already know neither Tim nor Mike intended these to be works of art in wood-making.
Admittedly these are really handsome, unique cues from endearing cue-makers whom are
no longer with us. Consequently, the cues need to be cared for & protected but nonetheless
still used for the purpose Tim & Mike intended for them......great hitting, splendid pool cues.
Not to play with these cues is a disservice to the legacy of both of these legendary names.
That may sound contrived but I am sincere......I love playing with my Scruggs and having
others ask to look at it and inquire about how the cue hits......it's a chance for me not to talk
about what a great cue I own but rather what a gifted cue-maker Tim was and just the nicest
person to speak with.......and personally, his cues do play a little better than the average bear.
I hope you decide to enjoy owning & also playing with these great pool cues. Gosh, you have so
many anecdotal stories you can share about both Tim and Mike when people ask about these
cues. You may find it also uplifting to share with others about your close ties with Tim & Mike.
So bring those cues out into the parlors and tournaments where they deserve to be admired.
And share with those whom ask about these cues a little bit of history about two of the greats.

I tend to agree with this. I see so many great cues here posted in this forum that languish in a closet or vault never hitting a ball. It makes me sad.

Some players for our buddy Anthony!

Thanks for thinking of me Nick:grin: I like the two on the left so if you are ever going to put them up for "adoption"...let me know:wink:
Hating again?
Pish posh,

It's not hating. It's called being a realist.
