my collection (Tasc, Szam, Martinez, Gilbert, and others)

[skierlawyer]

I have collected these cues over the past 10 years or so. I mainly like traditional cues. They all play great and I do hit balls with all of them from time to time but my everyday player is the dark forearm Joss. It has that special "ping" and has been my player since '90. Enjoy.

Left to Right: Doug Borque, Tascarella, Tascarella, Tascarella, Barry Szamboti, Joss East, Joss East, Andy Gilbert, Ernie Martinez, Ernie Martinez, Jenor Urate, Jensen (Mike Johnson).

I really like that Mike Johnson (Jensen cue). Thats my cup of tea with what looks to be either blue or green veneers. Can you post a close up of the veneers of that cue?

Nice group of cues and all are players, which makes the collection even better.

Nice collection! I really like the burl Tascarella - classic but with a bit of an edge.

Stupid question -- that's a 12x12 case. Where do you keep the extra shafts?

Actually I keep all the cues with their shafts in my case collection. I just bought the 12x12 and it usually sits empty. I took it out and put my cues in it today just to see them all at once and take a picture. Each cue does have two shafts.

Besides my daily player, my personal favorite is the hoppe tasc. I designed the cue and Pete made it for me with a cortland wrap. It was my first custom cue ever made for me and its very special to me. I would say the Szam is very special to me to because it has been a dream of mine to acquire one and when I bought this cue I spoke to Barry about it. It was made in 1992 using his dad's wood. The smooth leather wrap Tasc is probably the hitting cue of the bunch and has the most perfect wrap I've ever felt. Ernie Martinez let me watch him work for many hours many times and showed me so much that owning some of his work (I have another one too but not pictured here) is special. Ernie has made some of the best hitting cues on the planet. I've hit with tons of his cues and two of them have been the best hitting cues I've ever held, and thats alot of cues. I don't own those particular Ernie's but I tried to get them and they weren't for sale of course. My Ernie's hit really really great but I've hit some that were magical. I could go on about any one of my cues...
