Yes, Fred Kohara did.
I sent a Tad to him for a re-wrap after I refinished it. He still has Cortland linen.
Costs $150 a cue.

Well Cortland the real stuff is not easy to find.

No kidding?
I didn't know that .

Well Joey I think 150 bucks for wrap is Crazy, for a playing Cue.

Would be in line for a safe queen, but for Cue you play with a Fake Copy Kay Fake Cortland is just fine IMHO.

All this TAD talk has me intrigued. How much would one in good shape, not too fancy, no points, go for roughly? Thanks.

I seen basic Tads go for 1,500-2,000.

If you find a Tad Merry Widow for $1500, I’ll take care of you, after I buy it ?

Ernesto Dominguez, Hawaiian Brian Hashimoto, Morro Paez, Bernardo Chavez, and David Hemmah to name a few.

Tad's are a pretty big deal and much sought after.

I always wanted a nice one myself.

I know this years old, but I just scored a very old, pre serial # without logo Merry Widow Tad. It was a find and I don’t think anyone ever played it- It’s perfect with 2 shafts- NOT FOR SALE

I had a few of these redone by Tad and Fred about 15-20 years ago and released them into the wild maybe 10 years ago..

When I was coming up the best player in my poolroom had a great old Franklin' era Southwest.

One day this guy came in to gamble and he had a TAD. I didn't know what that was...but the good player said, "Oh wow...a TAD." He spoke of it in high regard.

Of course, we all know how fantastic these cues are. I was just wondering what good players used them over the years? Just curious...

My first custom cue was a Tad... Never forget... Guy
