I am selling one of my Tad cues. I love this cue, but it is not my main player and I'm looking to thin the herd. If you have any questions let me know... I'm pricing this cue to sell quickly.

- Tad 1-M Model (2012)
- Weight - ~19.2oz
- BEM forearm and butt with traditional Tad ring work in the butt
- 5/16x18 pin (SS joint)
- Shaft 1: 12.9mm (standard Tad taper) - Tad layered tip
- Shaft 2: 12.4mm (shaft was modified with Filipino taper and brought to 12.4mm by Joey Bautista of Bautista cues in CA) - Kamui Medium Brown tip (different now than pic)

Cue has the original Tad lacquer finish... only some minor flaking (barely noticeable) in certain areas of the cue. There are 3 minor dings in the cue overall... two in the butt cap and one in the forearm. I'm only mentioning because they are there... you can't see them unless you are looking under a light. There is a chip in finish in the delrin butt cap that is visible to the naked eye, but is very minor and nothing a refinish couldn't fix. Overall, the finish is still in very good shape.

Overall, the cue is in outstanding condition and rolls dead straight together and apart.

EDIT: I went back and double checked the cue to make sure it rolls straight. Both shafts roll dead straight on a table. The butt actually has the slightest of slightest wobbles on a table. It is so slight that when I roll the cue I don't notice it at all. I only noticed the slight wobble when I bent over to look to see if their was any light under joint end of the butt as it was rolling. This is when I noticed it. It is so small that it is barely visible even if you are looking for it but I want to be as upfront about the condition of the cue as I can. If I had to venture a guess, it's less than 32nd of an inch. With either of the shafts, when the cue is together, the cue rolls straight. Just keeping it honest.

Sold
No Trades Please.

Thanks,
Ray Robles

I had an offer and accepted it, but I have not received payment yet. Not sure what is going on, but I will give the person another couple of days to send payment, otherwise I'll have to say it's still available to the next person that makes me an offer.

Are you interested if the current prospective buyer does not send payment?

Thanks,
Ray
 
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ray

If you got this cue for $1400 or less, you got a GREAT deal. I have the same one but pre logo that I use as my banger cue. The hit is second to none.

Please report back on your opinion of the cue.

Congrats and enjoy.
 
I just received the cue. Absolutely great.....like new and very clean. Played several racks this afternoon and I realy like it. Big Cat was great to work with...great seller and the stick is exactly as he described. And Ghost Ball, I agree I am happy with the deal. I mainly play with old Joss, Josswest, and Skip Weston cues. This one plays great and very easily can become my daily cue.

The first Tad I saw was in the very early 70's when I was working at a room in Bloomington Indiana...the Rac n Cue. Artey Clemons had a Tad BEM plain jane that he had dragged behind a car to beat it up and had some duck tape on it. When he went into the southern Indiana rooms to hustle it certainly played the part. Most every week, Artey would come in as well as Nick Varner, Bob Dickerson, and Fred Perry. Very good pool.
