I have been looking at the TS cues for sale and I would like to know what different joints he uses between the butt and shaft. I know I can call him or visit which I will end up doing but I would like to ask here as shooters views are really important. What different types of joints does he use and which is the most popular? It appears he uses a metal insert in some shafts and not in othrers.

Many thanks,
Steve

CONTACT NICK SERDULA, Nick posts here all the time, He's got/had a very nice group of tims Cues, and He's good friends with Tim as well;)
 
Steve,

I have owned TS cues with 3/8-10, radial, 5/16-14, and around 2000 or so he also used 3/8-10 ACME, and 5/16-14 ACME (ACME has a flat ridge on the top side of the threads to increase surface area giving better contact).
On the 3/8-10 and radial pins the shaft does not get a brass insert. Timmy may well have used other pins, but these are the onesI have personally had.

Hope this helps.

I own now and have owned in the past a # of Tim's cues - mine have all been 5/16-14 - but I agree with the other posters - give Tim a call - I have been to his shop several times and called him also - he is a good guy.
I read somewhere once - that guys under 6 foot should try a shorter shaft and asked Tim to cut 1 inch off 1 of the shafts he made me - he looked at me with a kinda grin but made the cut for me - whilr i waited (did my game no good at all)
 
Was it a Balabushka?

Timi told me he did a couple Balabushka shafts for a billiards player once exactly the way you described!
Nick ;)
 
My Scruggs has an Acme thread and I really like the hit and the feedback. I'd also suggest to contact Mr. Scruggs for additional info on the different joint types.
