Sad information given to me today
- Thread starter excessknowledge
- Start date
I would like to respond to this post with up to the minute imformation. Tim and Mike are some of my best personal friends. I usually speak with them 2 or 3 times a week and have breakfast with them every Saturday for a least the last 3 years.
Tim and Mike, have raised their prices only once recently, that was 2 years ago. Materials and the cost of living have affected all of us. Compared with the few other very high quality custom hand made cuemakers, their prices are very competitive, with impecable workmanship,great playing cues with lasting value.
Tim underwent Heart surgery 2 years ago, and since has been in great shape. He is always in his usually easy going mood, with all his jokes. He looks great, watches what he eats and walks daily. Quite frankly, he recently has been more "hands on" with cue details and new design,then ever. That's where I come in, This past Saturday I came up with some new designs, and Tim, Mike,I reviewed, and refined these designs for future use. Tim offering many suggestions.
Tim is very much as excited as ever about his cue designs and construction improvements; and I must say he is a hell of a lot of fun to be around, he's always upbeat, and quick with words of incouragement.
Someone has certainly given you incorrect imformation.
If you have some work to be done,give Tim a call, he's always in his shop 6 Days a week.

Glad it was BS.I spent all week waiting and desireing to play pool.When I heard it I did not play for the weekend.I was done and sad.Your right man Tim is the man and it would also hurt just as bad if something happened to Mike.
Makes me feel bad I posted the thread now.Rick is the one who insisted on it.Your right though I am no spring chicken but when I heard it I was done shooting .I just went home.Glad you called and when I see Rick he will get a piece of my mind.That is nothing to say if you do not have the facts.
Scruggs cues are the best cues ever made in my mind and play the best.Tim and mike are both great guys and have been 110% with me. Tim also should be recognised for more than just making the best playing cue ever made.Sorry for the post I had to get the facts.As for prices I think the cues sell for 1/2 what they are worth or less.They should be double or tripple that amount.Look it, those splices are wicked true and the cues play almost by themselves.I think they are the best ever made and should have been the ones used in the color of money.They outplay any Balabushka and I am sorry Gus but the points and playability is alot better than my gus or tasc.
Now this is a fact of Tim.You take a old gas bubble like me and throw a tear in his eye and make him leave a pool room upset over Tim that shows how much impact the man has made in pool and in cues.Scruggs are the best cues ever made and made by the best maker.I am sorry for the post now how was I to know and I meant no disrespect.I have a few of scruggs cues and even doubles and will continue to get my cues done at scruggs.I am embarresed now and sorry Tim I had no Idea.
This just shows how much Tim Scruggs means to us all.I know I took them for granet till I heard that story.I will saver the time more with him now that is for sure.Scruggs are the best ever made.
Although Mike Lambros has certainly lent his skills in helping Tim become a great cuemaker, it should not be forgotten that Tim got his start in the cuemaking business pushing a broom (and later beginning cuemaking) in Dan Janes and Billy Stroud's shop many years ago. This was back in the late 60's before Dan and Billy split up, and most certainly had some early influence on his cuemaking knowledge, and a creative start in his dimensional design process. Just wanted to give props where they're certainly due!
