Post pics of your TAD and Showman cues. (merylane-you can post as many as you would like..hint..hint!)

Why should you post them? Purely for my selfish entertainment.

Thanks!

I'm for this as well. I LOVE the look of Tad cues, especially the 8 pointers and the fancy variations of the 8 pointers.

I've spoken to John Showman a few times. Generous, pleasant, enthusiastic are just a few words that I would use to describe Showman. And he makes killer looking cues on top of that! That's a win-win combo to me.
 
Here is my Showman--

Here is my Tad. I have owned 4 or 5 Tads but have held on to this
one. Pristine year 2000.

Yes, I did get my cue from you, and Really Glad that I did.
John Showman is a very dedicated craftsman, and in EVERY CUE that I have seen, they are so meticulously put together, and my, my", how terrific mine hits the ball, a very solid, responsive, accurate hit and feel" I love it!!!!

Been a fan for a long time, awesome cues John.

I particularly love the way you include those razor thin veneers and tuck them in between "normal" spec veneers in the points. And of course, those are some deep and tight pointwork.

John Showman and his wife Marylane sent me a nice packet of information including a very cool order form and photos of his work. Oh, not to mention a cool pool magazine that has a photo of his cues on the cover. I called John and got his permission to scan this stuff in and post it and will be doing so soon! I think you'll all be impressed!

Oh, everyone give John a big pat on the back. He and his wife are expecting a little girl very soon now! Congratulations to the Showman family!
