I had the opportunity to pick up a big pin Tad player from my friends at J&J and as always they did not disappoint. Here are a couple pictures of my latest player.

I had a "normal" joint birdseye Tad, and I liked it so well I played with it a couple years (long time for me).

I have always heard the big pin Tads play the best.

I have had about 10 of these maple players 7 in steel, three in big pin and all but one was a great player. The only one that I didn't care for the hit on I think someone replaced the ferrules with a different material. I tried a couple different tips and just never cared for the hit. Otherwise I think they are all strong players and love the hit on both the big pin and the steel jointed ones.

As everyone here knows I am a habitual cue swapper and rarely keep a cue more than a few months. Heck I booked nothing but winners with my last EDC cue but I still ended up selling it. LOL

Thanks for the comments and looking everyone.

Here are a few pictures I took at the pool room and I find it interesting how different the coloring on the cue looks under fluorescent light versus natural light.

The big pin TAD-1 cues play awesome. They do take a little time to break in but once they do boy they play remarkable. Enjoy in good health.

Only problem you will have is the wrap getting dirty and the finish wearing off. Especially if you drink. The alcohol will bleed through your hands and destroy the finish over time.
