Hoppe Titlist Conversion on Ebay

wow. that is a lotta cue (for a lot less :eek:) than $2k!

YES it is a lotta cue for the money. I originally bought this cue years ago with a damaged joint and just one shaft. I sent the cue to Paul and had the joint replaced. I also had the elephant ear wrap put on, as the original wrap was worn and stained. I paid $850 for the cue. Paul charged me $400 for the repairs. I bought the Pro X from Martin for $199 and I bought the Ultra X for $175. Altogether, I have $1724 into this cue! Changing the original shaft to radial pin will cost $50. That brings this cue to $1774...which is not bad for a cue that originally cost $1800 in 1993. I would like to get at least $1450 for it!
 
This is a nice looking conversion by a well-recognized cuemaker, plus it has very distinctive details on the points! Best of luck with the sale.

All of Paul's cues have a phenomenal hit in addition to being great lookers!
 
TOP NOTCH CUE!!! Those veneers are so bright I'm wondering if they're not from the 60's. Mini money-crunch over here right now, but I'd love to snag it!
 
Sorry to hear you have to sell your cue Randy. Good luck with the sale and hope things get better soon. Randy is a stand up guy folks and great to deal with.

Thank you for the kind words! I really hate selling this cue. I've had it a long time and it has been REALLY good to me. Times are really tough though. I haven't worked in almost a year!
Thanks!

The bright veneers is a tribute to Paul's work. I have been saving a "series 4 (1951-1959) cue that I was to send to Paul for conversion into a jump/break cue that matched the cue I'm selling. Yes the veneers are bright, but notice the grain in the forearm. It is not nearly as straight as the early cue. That was typical of the earliest Titlists made....they had the straightest-grain maple one could find. Anything less was considered inferior. Here's a photo of the two cues together:

BTW I will be selling the top cue too, maybe a package deal???
