I always wanted a Timmy Scrugs Sneaky. I didn't plan on playing with it. Just wanted one for the cue collection. This came up for sale out of the blue..the price was more then right so I bit on it. I had NO PLANS TO PLAY WITH IT! I was happy with my Predator road line cues. I was just going to have it refinished and it was going to be a case queen. The thing hits amazing! Better then the monster 6 point ebony scrugs I owned years a go. There was no learning curve to go from low deflection to this cue. I ordered some nice joint protectors from Jim baxter and he delivered as always. I know it's plane compared to the monsters normally seen on here but these are becoming more rare and I have no plans to ever get rid of it. I would love to find a 2nd shaft but I'm sure that will be very difficult.
