    New Custom Cuemakers to look for

    Mike Cochran Actually,Mike has worked with Tim Scruggs for many years but in the last year or so has begun to build some cues under his name(MC cues).He built a few several years ago but very few and hard to get.Anyone who has ever dealt with Tim or Mike knows what class acts they are and the...

    Shaft wear

    If you assume a high qulity maple shaft,only maintained by occasional cleaning with damp cloth,drying vigorously,then burnishing with leather(never sanding),after say 25 yrs of playing with that shaft for 20 hrs per week would there be a noticable decrease in diameter?M.S.

    That special cue

    How many AZBers have an "irreplacable cue" as your main player?By irreplacable i mean a rare cue(special cue by retired or deceased cuemaker,rare titlest conversion,etc) that literally cant be replaced exactly.I think a cue that coundnt be replaced for sentimental reasons qualifies also.If so do...

    Searing and Scruggs lovers

    "same concept"? No,Its not the same concept at all.Those Spain/Szamboti forearms were made FOR Balabushka to use in HIS cues.The Titleist conversions are done on cues NO LONGER MADE that were all made somewhat generically by a company.What you are talking about here is one living cuemaker...

    Searing and Scruggs lovers

    For what its worth As a collector and fan of Tim Scruggs and Mike Cochran I have to throw my thoughts in here:A cue made by these two as a team or individually doesnt need to be "reworked" by anyone to enhance its value.Their quality as cuemakers and character as men speak for themselves.Mike...
