Thanks for the info. Through research, I noticed the pilots on Tims cues are never the same. I gotta say I have not been too much of a fan of Scruggs cues, the two I had tried where not my cup of tea, the 1st one was spectacular looking though. After trying this cue out briefly, I gotta say, this cue is an awesome player. It is just over 20oz, balanced quite well and feels like a one piece. 2 full shafts with LBM ferrules, matched at 4.15oz. I dig the ebony into the black phenolic buttcap and the inlays below the wrap vs above the buttcap. Different flow. The veneers are hard to see, black, lime green, yellow, natural. While I rarely play nowadays, I recently won full custody of my 6 year old son, but this guy is going to be my player whenever I do get to the hall. It could use a refinish, but I'm fine with it the way it is. It has seen lots of play.
