Tall Man's Szamboti Scruggs Martinez Cue Collection

[coloradoman]

From top to bottom: I bought all three from the cuemakers. Each has a story.
Ernie Martinez from 1995. 60 inches long. Made to fool me into thinking I picked up my Gus.
Tim Scruggs from 1993. 62 inches long. I cut up his brochure and designed the cue I wanted. Tim made it. Only one of its kind I am sure.
Gus Szamboti from 1983. 62 inches long. Made for some unlucky guy who didn't have the COD for it twice. Gus sold it to me for the balance of what the guy owed.

Very nice! How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and currently shooting with a 60" Pierce Custom. I'm thinking about going to a 62" but they are hard to find.

 

[coloradoman]

I am about 6'6". The long cues are rare for sure, especially by the old master cuemakers.

I'm assuming you are in Colorado?

 

[coloradoman]

yes, Centennial.

 

[Steppo]

yes, Centennial.

I use to pass through Centennial all the time, Is the cop car still parked in the same spot?

Oh wait, I was thinking Wyoming

 

[measureman]

yes, Centennial.

Do you go to Felt?
I'm usually there on Saturday mornings.
I play a lot of one pocket on table one with Mike or sometimes with Fred, we are the old guys.

Nice cue set. I’m 6-3 and 60” works great for me.

I bet if you found the COD guy today, he still wouldn’t have the cash. Some things never change.
