I don't recall hearing of any but being from Baltimore, I'd be surprised if Sigel didn't try one. Anyone know of any pros using Tim's cues?
Any pro players using a Scruggs cue?
- Thread starter RichSchultz
- Start date
'Try' would be a sure bet, but I believe mikes competitive days were ending as 'scruggs' Beaumarchais its own brand.
Sigel's career was pretty much Joss, then a short stint with Meucci, then back to Joss, then his own brand.
As for other pros, I can't speak for all, but I think most live paycheck to paycheck, and do not play with a Scruggs, or for that matter, Bushka, Szamboti, Tad, Ginacue, etc. A few exceptions, but for the most part, they play later cues.
All the best,

Having thought about for a bit now...I think we may find Asian players' use, specifically Japanese, might be more prevalent.
If only we had members familiar with the Vic, cough-cough..scene over there.

I seen a really strong player (in St. Louis) playing with a Scruggs back in the late 90's. Was a super nice Scruggs too. I do not know about pro's, but I am sure a lot of very strong A level players play with them.
No kidding. The history is, Mike worked in the Joss shop in the early 70s, on the condition that he finish school, according to the accounts of Dan Janes. But, Mike got addicted to the lathes and grinders, so he didn't finish school. The rest is history.
There are many who don't regard Mike as much of a cuemaker, but most don't know the past.
All for history, and of course,
All the best,

Are you referring to Sam Devers?
