Not everybody likes the same thing.
I LOVED the way the piloted wood to wood cues play and did not care for his ivory jointed cues at all.

i thought some say his flat faced ivory jointed cues are his best playing cues
That's why they make almond joy AND mounds...
Different people like different things.
Party on!

I'm not saying the above poster is wrong. We all like what we like....period. but I too think the TS flat faced ivory was the nuts.
Having said that, I DO NOT think they are worth what they fetch as a player. As a collector on the other hand, they are undervalued.
There, that should be clear as mud.

I agree. His best players are the flat faced Ivory. Both Pins(Radial and 3/8-10).
Nobody can be wrong about the op's question.
But one of us is gonna be lonely!:embarrassed2::grin:
Piloted small screw with brass insert and no collars were his best hitters imo.
Yeah, the sneaky Pete's.

Yeah! That makes 2 of us!
I giggle every time I read:
"He lost it half way through the 1 pocket"........
It's funny as he'll to anyone that has ever truly got serious with the game 1 hole because it is actually true for so many.
When I first started playing 1 hole years ago I thought I was gonna lose my mind because people I was spotting in rotation games was beating me at 1 hole.
1 hole was probably the most expensive pool I played (dearly at that) trying to learn. Yeah, they lined up to play me 1 hole for at least a year or so. Lol....not anymore though. Now they just draw a number out of hat. The winning number feels like they hit lottery from the way they act.
Thank God I was smart enough to keep most of it cheap.

It is an awesome line. I don't have ink, but I might get that, if I had to have one.

Tim didn't mass produce cues and consequently, I suspect like with other great names in cue-making, each
of the various cues Tim made can & likely will vary in some respect just based on the design & materials used.

I agree! And by 1981 I already had owned 5. Kept two that were exceptionall. An ivory jointed flat face Hoppe and an ebony stained BEM 4 point piloted steel joint. Those 2 cues were as good as anything I’ve owned. Most of the petes were back heavy balanced so I moved them on to new homes but had at least 3 of them. Tim and Bob and later Mike were great men to deal with.
