OK, I know he used to work for Timmy Scruggs, but are they REALLY the same cue? Whats the same, and what are the honest differences? I've had a Frey s/p and liked the play of it, but still ended up selling it. Do they REALLY use the same woods? Do either of em' make their own s/p blanks? I've seen a few Scruggs cues made from other blanks on here, but I wanna know what makes his cues different than someone else's. Yes, I honestly don't know! What has he done that makes his cues more valuable on the secondary market than someone else's? The ones I've had or seen, the construction looks very similar to something else, but what separates "the men from the boys" so to speak? I'm NOT bashing Tim by this thread, this is an honest question...Somebody has to be able to tell me!! If they are the same in fact, then why are Bob's cues waaaay less in price?
 
nooooo

Tim pays him minimum wages because he is his apprentice.

uh...I'm pretty sure Bob is now on his own and Tim has a "new guy" as an apprentice, but what do I know?
 
yeah he is on his own dukeboy. I too wondered the same thing myself just awhile back. If scruggs sneaky petes are so widely wanted, and bob was supposed to make most or alot of tims sneakys, then wouldnt one of bobs be like an old scruggs. Never could get a definitive answer either.
 
I just like how they play. Most of them probably were old duffern blanks or other house cues cut down. I don't care whose name is on the scruggs sneaky's as everyone of them has played good. The only difference would probably be in material used in the shafts. Most scruggs sneakys come from a time when good wood was a little easier to get.

Bob Frey makes a very nice cue, his cues will sell for less because his name isn't Tim Scruggs.
