Can you give us some info on Tucker cues- I have owned many customs, but never heard of Tucker- it sure is a very nice looking cue! Is this the Joe Tucker who once played on the Joss tour?
Hi Mike.
I have owned a few of these Tucker cues. The cue maker is Murray Tucker and his company is Tucker Cue Works iirc he is out of somewhere in the Mid-South, maybe Georgia or South Carolina. Don't believe he's related to Joe Tucker of the Rhode Island area.
Murray did not make a whole bunch of cues and what he did make are of very high quality. I heard not too long ago that he had stopped his cue making operation in order to focus more time on family and his day job, a business he's in with other family members.
I met him a couple of times at Super Billiards Expo. He is a laid back fellow with a great sense of humor and he sure can make a terrific cue.
He let Royce from OB cues and myself hit some balls with his personal player which was a simple looking full splice Sneaky Pete with an oil finish and it hit so good I made him an offer but he said it wasn't for sale.:smile:
The one Cleiton has for sale in this thread is one of the nicest Tuckers I've seen.
Glwys Cleiton.
Best,
