CAM - Chad McClennon - Bushka Style

I continue to get aquainted with the Green / Black "Scofield" inspired demon!!

Ran a 31 / 50 in a 14.1 qualifier last week, and then a "4" in 9-ball on an 8-footer from opponent's dry break yesterday in a local tourney.

I am playing pretty sporty (for me especially) and we don't even know each other yet.

Good times to come. :thumbup:
 
Leggy

I don't have it in my hands yet, but, I DO have these pics.

This is a brand new, full splice / old school look, by Chad of CAM cues.

Everything white is ivory, and the wrap is elephant.

The veneers came out green-er than I expected, but it's growing on me. It's a sexy, leggy brunette, with piercing green eyes.

I fell in love with pics of the "Scofield Balabushka" in P&B 20 years ago and have always wanted a cue with the same feel. I always like simpler butt designs, and went with sharp edged boxes.

I / we, modernized things with a thin wall steel joint, and the radial pin. All my cues are getting a similar set up, so I can mix and match.

The cue is 59" overall. Final weight being balanced out now.

I "moved the wrap" back more to where I use it and to highlite Chad's incredible point work.

From joint face to top of wrap is 13.5" (standard is 12"). You put this next to a 12" front cue from ANYONE and it makes them look stubby.

From bottom of wrap to end of buttcap is 3.5" (standard is usually 5"+)

Anyway...

I love it !!!!!!!! the dark green makes it look somewhat sinister.
 
And the honeymoon continues....

After a delay for tire change (ok tips...) we are REUNITED! and I gotta say, it does feel as good as the song. :lovies:

I now have several 4 ounce shafts, all high ring count, and am experimenting with which tip will become the standard. The ONE THING Chad and I disagree on is tips, and I stand by my appraisal from 20 years ago: Triangles hit like a wad of cardboard. :barf:

I have been a hard le pro man for ages, but I am going to give Milk Duds, and Medium Mooris a try. I am looking for that BONK! but with greater control and forgiveness.

One thing I noticed is I waste a LOT of time at the pool room. Every time I pull this thing out, I admire it, confirm it is perfect and just stare at it. Then without fail, someone notices it, and I spend way longer (than they ever thought a guy could talk about a cue) telling them every detail.

Anyway, he delivered the rest of my little "diaosho", a break and jump cue, all matching. Pics to follow....
