This looks like an older Titilist forearm and the cue looks to be in a rougher condition - - honestly - It may be a Gina cue but certainly on the low end of his current price range - My opinion is a $2,000 ask price - maybe $2500 - but I don’t think that you would get even the $2,000.
Titilist conversions in rough shape from the cue making legends like GB or Ernie are just at the lowest end in my experienced selling opinion and according to my desires as an individual buyer.
You have dreamers and you have realists in the cue selling world - I am a bona fide realist who sold every cue listed within a 30 day period in over the last 25 years.

My eyes are up here!

Does it have veneer damage down by the wrap or is it a reflection? As others have stated, value is heavily contingent on condition and straightness.

From the poor condition I could see, I'd be shocked if the shafts are anywhere close to straight.

It could be worth 2-3k if it's a good candidate for a refinish. If the butt has significant damage and the shafts are badly warped, it may only be worth a few hundred.

Send it to someone that can assess it for you. Proficient Billiards would be a good choice for that.

Run your mouth internet hero. I'm being punished with a house on the lake and about to retire at 60 with 2 pensions.....so bite me biatch.

Same as well

Where are the original shafts

Based on the hour or so I spent with the man over 30 years ago, I think I’d agree! I’m hoping someone here might’ve actually gotten a cue from him, too…

... with single rail banks you can get pretty good results with just imagining a pocket out in space.

If visualizing a pocket's mirrored position is difficult for you, you can "triangulate" it - where the relevant lines intersect...

It does make sense to take one system and keep practicing it till you can pretty well make most of your shots. My trouble is that I watch a lot of youtube videos on how to bank and try each to see how they work, although I don't stick with them for more than a practice session. As I stated previously, I have had the most success with Freddy's system because I use it the most and seem to always revert back to it when playing against others. I also have watched the "Bugs" Rucker videos to see the way he banks and it seems to be te same as Freddy's.

I do have a copy of "The Science of Pocket Billiards" and will check it out for how it describes bank shot execution. Also, I understand the comments about differences between table cloth and bumpers, but playing primarily on one table, I'm familiar with the way one side of the cushions reacts differently from the other side.

The mirror system has been getting the best of me, because when I've tried to do kicks to pocket a ball close to the pocket, I am always missing the object ball. Each time I measure the mirror distance and the contact point on the rail it never hits the OB. Adjustments always have to be made in order to contact the OB. Trying to mirror a pocket for a bank shot is something that I have to experiment with.

Then put out a $ number for the guy.... Let's not keep him wondering what price since you know way more than I do! And I do mean that respectfully...
