Here is a photo of my modest collection of cues.
1 Adam cue case, found via trading with a member here on AZB. I think I paid $75.
2 What I believe to be an Adam AS-1. A friend gave me this cue, which started me on Adam cues. It started out with a dark green wrap. I had it replaced with black linen when the original started to show signs of wear. I got black to match the EAP CF shaft (see below). This cue butt is well worn, likely having seen plenty of use over its lifetime. I don't know how old it is. I use it every so often. Has a plastic or composite joint, so the balance point is farther back from cue #3. I believe it's Bocote.
3 Adam AH-12, (EDIT: It might also be a DX-series cue) white/green speckled linen wrap. I found this one on FB Marketplace for $80. Those are decals not inlays. It's my primary player. Has a metal joint, so the balance point is 1.75" forward of cue #2. Hits nearly the same as the AS-1. I am unsure of the type of wood the butt is made from.
4 Adam MAC-14. I recently found this one. For sure I paid too much, $300. I don't care. It looked interesting. It's actually a three-piece cue; the butt is in two pieces. Real inlays. Pretty narrow tip (around 12mm.) Can anyone verify the model per the MAC-14 sticker?
5 EAP (Ed Petersen) custom cue, made to my specs and colors with acrylic inlays. I like dark blue cars with red pinstripes, hence the color scheme. The butt is Bocote and Purple Heart. I originally asked Ed for a dark blue linen wrap, but at his encouragement, I could not cover up that gorgeous Purple Heart. I will not reveal how much I paid for it, but . . . . it was pricey. EAP CF shaft, around 12.5mm tip.
