I am waiting for my fancy new Scruggs cue at fed ex today,I love Ivory inlays shaped like diamonds and thats what I am expecting,nobody makes traditional cues better than Tim and Mike.

Sometimes Mike ignores my designs and does something unique to surprise me,and I liked every one,but I always order ivory diamonds in a 4 point cue.
I like traditional cues like when I was a kid.What do most of you guys like best,traditional on new styles and designs?

I am amazed how much better the new ones are than the first ones I bought 30 years or even10 years ago,and I thought those were the best cue possible.

I love Scruggs cues

I agree with your likings Dean, the more traditional the more I like them. The only exception for me is the traditional cues seemed to have had more MOP or Abalone inlays where I prefer the Ivory inlays. I have visited Tim and Mike 2times within the last month. They make so many wonderful designs that it is hard for me to decide on one perfect cue to order from them. Once I get it narrowed down I will be placing my order though.
 
Forgot about the designs (I like them all)...Tim and Mike new Radial pin play awesome especially with an ivory joint. They are making some of their best hitting cues yet!!! The hit on these newer cues are sweet and it move the cue ball with ease (it's a real pleasure to play with one and its the kinda of cue that make you want to really play pool)!! I think someone has a ivory joint radial with an ebony forearm for sell and I'm sure that a monster hitter!!!

Regards,
Duc.
 
Surprises

Mike constantly comes thru with an asthetically balanced design, no matter what you put him up to. Sometimes it's a surprise, but it'll always leave you in awe! Like fine wine, it gets better with age :D and it's likely to play just like it was handed down from Mount Olympus!

My cue arrived and it is gorgeous,lots of notched ivory diamonds,sharp points,inlays,light blue color AND SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE an elephant wrap.Its not what I expected,its better!As usual with these guys.
 
Something about using elephant hide REALLY bothers me. :( I'll never own anything (cue or case) that uses it.
 
I wish to retract my post in which I made statements that offended another member,I confess to a certain indelicacy of expresion,and tone that I regret now.Please accept my apology.It is not the first time I have been guilty of unguarded statements that I shouldn't make.

I would be very interested in seeing pictures.

The Tiger elephant print pigskin looks good on a cue and feels okay, IMO. Real elephant ear is the triple nuts for a wrap. It has a fantastic hand, very smooth with only very subtle texture. I'll post pics down the road. Don;t want to take away from Dean's thread on a new Scruggs cue. Mike and Tim are true masters.
