i usualy dont put my business in the street-infact never but this is the exception, i'm the buyer. Martin is a cool guy and very honest, I love Tads they are my favorite looking cues and second favorite playing cues. This one isnt perfect but none of my Tads are, but they all shoot straighter than me. I'll post it when I get it with the rest of the Tad Family, I missed out(got scared) in 92 or 93 on a all ivory Tad for 8500, its worth 25/k now, i'm sick about that.
