Here is the latest acquisition to my line of Hoppe Cues.
This cue came to me after a brief stop at Pete's shop for a new piece of leather to really set it off.

First the pictures I received from Jimmy (just prior to the new smooth wrap being applied)...
Thank you - Jimmy!

More pictures coming...

Now the cue has a smooth leather wrap, three shafts (Predator shaft added with matched ring work).
More pictures will be posted in a month or so after a complete set of custom cue caps arrive.

Alpine....did you personally get into Petes shop, or was it the cue that got in?

A fine cue

Very nice Myron. I couldn't imagine a better wrap treatment than Pete's smooth leather. Enjoy

The cue was in the shop - I have not been out that way in a long time (used to live in NYC but the closest I get is into NJ near the GW Bridge).
I received the cue directly from Jimmy who sent it to Pete for the new wrap and the new shaft. He gets all the credit for the current look on this cue.
I am fortunate to have adopted the cue and this one has found a home.

Played both the Predator shaft and one of the original shafts.
The cue is stiff, solid and has an exceptional hit using Kamui Med Soft tips.
Nothing whimpy about this cue at all.

Hey Myron, I am glad you were the one who ended up with the cue. I think it fits your taste perfectly.

Enjoy and keep in touch,
Jimmy
 
Myron,
Fantastic looking Tascarella Hoppe you got. The veneers look great with the Rosewood. If the cue plays has good as it looks, I will definitely need the 7 ball.
 
M, that's it....you're a certifiable Hoppe cue S L U T (and I say that in a very compassionate way). :) Beautiful traditional style cue and I've always thought this one has some of the prettiest veneer colors I've ever laid my eyes on. Enjoy !!
 
And the Hoppe collection grows. Like others above, I love the veneer colors. Unique without going too far away from traditional.

Great buy, Myron!

THIS CUE HAS HAD MORE HOMES THAN "LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE".....SO MUCH FOR IT BEING YOUR PLAYER.....

MYRON, I HOPE YOU LOVE THE CUE. THE COLORS ARE 1 OF 1 TO NEVER BE REPEATED. IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR MARTYN BACHMAN. IN 2001 OR 2002 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

A good collection will include a classical design and this one is a real beauty.
