There is no oubt you have a genuine Tim Scruggs sneaky pete
All scruggs cues were made by Tim,Mike Cochran or Bob Frey
all under the careful eye of Tim to the same demanding specification
Yours is a TS tim Scruggs or he would not put his name on it
Should you or anyone here on AZ want another made the exact same way
Bob Frey can make more the exact same way,just as good but with his logo
These cues have the reputation of being the best hitting cues ever made
Tim explained the why to me,but I am not supposed to reveal why or how
Congrats on discovering what you like to play
Thanks for the support- the minute I started hitting with this cue I knew it was something special- I did not realize Tim's history with this style of cue - but I am believing everything I have been told about the way this particular wood/joint/ivory ferrule/tip combination was meant to play- it sure does! Two weeks now with this cue and I can say for sure it is the best player ever in my hands in 55 years of play!
