Depends on the house cue. I have converted quite a few over the years and sometimes you find one with nice tight straight grain. Those ones I save both. I cut it so I get a full length shaft and then find a way to add to the length of the butt. If you do it right you can even out the points and recut the shaft and when adding the joint you can time the grain so that it matches when assembled. It is all about the little details IMO. The real question is if the market will bear the cost of putting in the time to make a real nice conversion.

High profile sponsored player is expected to switch to a newer model constantly. Essential part of marketing and creating a buzz over a new release. He’s/she’s paid to do that.

if you have seen top players beat really good players playing with a broom stick handle, you might reconsider that.

and ive seen players grab a stick at random off the wall and run a hundred balls. and also play runout 9 ball all day long.
