I picked up a batch of Tiger's new cues for photos, and I got a chance to test out their new line of hustler cues.

The cues are a typical full splice, with arrows inlaid over the inner point. These are nice looking cues using a variety of woods. Each cue has a radial pin joint and the Tiger X shaft.

The quality of the cues is top notch. They are built to last. The Tiger X shaft is a laminated shaft and feels and plays like a premium conventional shaft. Tiger uses the finest maple available. Their typical shaft weighs just under 4 ounces, and that's without an insert. I toured their shop and was amazed at the tight growth rings on their maple.

I tried out both the cocobolo and the purplehart and ebony cue. I liked the cocobolo fine, which played like most sneaky pete's, but I loved the purpleheart and ebony. The purpleheart forearm makes this cue a pile driver - I can't explain it but it is definitely a players cue.

Anyway, Tiger's cue are coming right along. I recommend them for those looking for a sneaky pete with a premium laminated shaft and all the other Tiger good stuff.

Man it's pretty, and for as old as it is, it's in great shape , it's a tank. Couldn't be happier. Tiger makes a hell of a product
