Greetings,

New cue from Scott. This started life as a 50's era Titlist. It's going to be my brother's birthday present when he arrives later this week from Alaska.

Now it has two shafts with ivory ferrules, mother of pearl inlays, silver rings, an ivory Hoppe ring, and a black phenolic buttcap (attn. Hoppe purists - don't scold me for these proportions :embarrassed2:) We minimized the bumper to keep the look a little more classic (no bumper would've been better, but just not conducive to butt cap health :wink:)

Also we kept the butt larger than what's currently in vogue (think Hercek-sized) because my brother likes big butts (:cool:)

(wow! three emoticons in two paragraphs :grin-square: now four! Whoo hoo!)

stainless steel joint w/ a 3/8" radial pin, black phenolic joint collars

And, oh yeah, that's a Cortland wrap (thank you Mr. Pechauer.)

Also, I got lucky and found a sweet, vintage, It's George case on e-bay to complement this old school beauty.

Thank you Scott!

The larger butt makes the fit into the It's George pretty snug. I think it will be ok, but it is tight!
 
Great looking cue and case. Cortland Linen wrap is a major bonus. Two thumbs up from me.
 
I finally got to present my brother with his present (hmmm, pre-sent', pre'-sent).

It plays like a dream, and he loves it. Practically makes the balls for him.

I had forgotten what cortland felt like (if only I had finished working off that Palmer back in '69... :( ) Really nice.
 
Nice titlist conversion! Wonder how the radial SS joint plays. I typically go for a 5/16X14 piloted SS joint.
