thanks for posting the pics, man i'mk useless when it comes to that, i tried forever to post them,
i used the palne jane cue in the pictures everyday for 4 years, i had jerry franklin repaint it just before he passed away, I love that cue. IK put it into retirement after Jerry passed away.
Tads are on the top of the list of my favorite cues there are 4 cue makers that are on that list in no order, Szams, Tads, SW, Bushka. Sugartree is knocking on the door-those cues Eric is making play great.
I had Laurie make me a cue after i retired the plain jane tad that I used for 7 years but not everyday but i put alot of miles on it. some time i'll take pics of the SW cues I have- I have 5 of them 2 are satin cues 2 fancy one regular 6pt. the 6pt was from 86 my first SW.
