Were TAD-1 Tigerwoods big pin common?

I always wanted to try a big pin TAD, I bought one off ebay to satisfy my curiosity. I don't see many merry widow with the big pin. Out of the annual 100 average number of cues made, do you think maybe 2 or 3 were big pin or more would have been made including any model (merry widow through 8 points)

Probably more than 2 or 3 out of 100 average, but definitely not as plentiful as 14 thread pin with steel joint.

It's always difficult to determine if the Big Pin TADs were not popular or if Tad just didn't want to make many of them. Am I also correct in assuming that all of the white joints were in fact made of Juma? I don't believe I have seen evidence that any joint was ever made from ivory.
