Pierce tad??!!
Repost:
About five years ago, a good friend of mine left his home in Central Calif and drove to Reno, Nevada for a major tourney. He played all day into the early evening. Instead of staying over, he decided to drive home. He returned to his home in the very early a.m., worn out from the day. He walked into his house, leaving his suitcase and cue and case locked in his trunk. Years before, his best friend had given him a 1970's TAD Plain Jane, just before he passed on. When he went out later in the morning he found his trunk lid ajar, and suitcase, case and cue gone. That night three cars adjoining his property were broken into and items stolen. The loss of his cue nearly caused a wonderful pool player to quit the game.
When I heard about his terrible loss, I wanted to replace the cue for him. However, there was no way that I could afford the $1,850 needed for the purchase. I contacted my good friend, Jim Pierce of Pierce Custom Cues, and asked him if he might be able to build a TAD TRIBUTE for my friend. After about 6 months, lots of studying photos, and diligent efforts, he built the cue for my friend.
All I can say is that Jim did one hell of a job, duplicating the cue. I had cleaned the cue a couple of times for my friend, so I was quite knowledgeable about the specs. Jim matched them very close. I, along with a half dozen close friends, had a "Roast" for my friend, and presented him with the cue at the end of the event. Had I not told my friend that Jim had made the cue, he would not have known it was a replica. I will always appreciate what Jim did for me, and my friend.

I don't know if the photos came out on my repost, however, IF Jim wants to make a tribute copy, about the only way one would know it was Jim's and not an original, would be because Jim puts his name on it.

And Then There Were Two
This is a Jimmie Pierce cue which I recently received.
I am a fan of the maple into maple splice and when I saw the 2013 cue, I asked Jimmie if he would produce another for me. He did and was a pleasure to work with. This was my first custom that I ordered long distance and there wasn't one glitch and not an ounce of confusion or miscommunication.
The cue is birdseye maple, 59", 21oz, linen wrap, radial pin and shafts are 12mm and 13mm with triangle tips. Juma ferrules and joint, Butt is tapped for a 5/16 18 weight bolt.
Jimmie hit the mark on all of the specs resulting in a cue that is very familiar in my hands. The finish work on both the butt and the shafts is outstanding. The points are dead even.
Thanks Jimmie.

Sweet! I am the proud owner of the cue originally posted (straight from snowmon), and it has such a great feel to it. Beautiful BEM. Sharp SHARP points. It's nice to see another cue with this design. Great looking cue, sir!
Thanks. I was reluctant to post pics in case you had any objection to Jimmie making a second cue of the same design so I asked Jimmie before posting.
I love the cue and obviously your's as well.
Your loss man Jim's cues hit great...I have another one coming now.
