Tiger cues

[garczar]

I won a straight pool tournament on the base in Chu Lai,South Viet Nam in 1968.
We played on 2 tables with only a roof and no walls on the beach near the South China Sea.
It was near a 100 degrees with brutal humidity.
We played for one day and was not interrupted by incoming mortars or rockets.
Try those conditions.

Oh fk. You're talking the bigass rockets. What were those, 100-122mm shit? Now those would ruin your day.

120MM if I remember correctly.
One day they had a dud on display in front of the mess hall and told everyone passing by if you see this stay away and tell an officer.

I see this thread went somewhere else. My opinion on tiger cues is that my interest plummeted when they made their own version of the radial pin. I don’t like being restricted to just their shafts.

Yes I sold my Pechauer cue because of their pin.

If u like their shaft and the company is solid. It's not an issue as far as I can see. But I get it. I wanted to buy a Segen (some sort of piloted radial) but they went out of business so fast I'm glad I didn't pull trigger. I'd be fine with it as long as I had three shafts(of it was my main or only cue)

Segen cues seem to be really underrated. I feel that their cues hit super nice. Super solid. I love their unique piloted radial looking joint.

Segen Cues are amazing. A short lived project from Evan Clarke (RIP). If you can find one, I would advise you to buy one. They are excellent cues in looks and playability.

Only problem is no aftermarket shaft will fit unless modified.

wasn't always that big. they don't have a big crew.

For a long time Tiger is been way bigger than a 1-2 man shop.

Very true, but Evan's shafts play great.

I have a Tiger sneaky with installed leather wrap 12 yrs old with the old radial pin before they changed style love the cue. I have the Tiger weight bolt system i don't use it, i like it better with no weights on.
