This cue has been long time coming for me, here it is and played some balls already. As good as it looks it hits 'em even better...

Six points 3 high 3 low, 12 ivory diamond inlays stainless joint and the best looking piece of curly/bem I've seen and wrapped in leather. Came with two shafts both ivory ferrules photo'ed with just one

And I can't believe my crappy camera phone picked up the dust on it already.

Nice cue! How long was the wait on this cue?

Too long... From my desire to have one and it getting here seems like years. But I spoke to Mike today after getting it and hit a couple of balls said he had a good growing waiting list.

I bet. I will have to ask him how long his wait is when I go visit Scruggs shop next month.:D Sweet cue by the way!

Please shake Mike's hand for me, I don't see myself being able to get up there any time soon, I'd love to get up there.

Thanks for the complement.

I think this will be only time I would be able to go visit. Just happens be I'll be in D.C. on vacation. Where we are staying at its only a bout 30 minutes from the shop. :D
 
Scruggs shop

Tim and Mike are two of the finest cuemakers you'll ever meet. You'd have a grand time visiting their shop. I'm not suprised to see his wait times are increasing though, but it's well worth it!

Congratulations on a fine looking six pointer.

there should be a reminder for people to wipe cues down before photos
Don't be making cracks about my dusty cue. :p it's not snow.
 
Wow! Very nice cue Sir!

Can`t say too often, that i love their work. And it`s very nice to see Mike`s reputation growing even more and more these days. He and his cues truely deserve it!

Can you tell me if the points are built like on usual Scruggs cues, or is this some kind of "deep knifed in" like Tony does it?
Just wondering because by the look this possibility ain`t eliminated...

Good luck with the cue!
 
I hit with this beauty and it is as good as any out there. Mike has yet to make a cue that hits less than phenomenal. Again I will say,"Play with a Cochran or get beat by one!":)

Rift, I will bring my camera up to Grady's and we can take some pictures that will do this cue justice.

I'd assume is was done by whatever Mikes tried and true method is. I've hit with two other of his cues and the hit is more sweet than any other cue I've had in my hands with all three that I've hit with now.
