Yeah, hence the name conversion. I do believe that Dennis was hands on with both conversions that I have, not sure how much was done by an apprentice if you will. Dennis told me that he hasn't done a conversion cue since the late 90's. I guess that's why they have a good price tag, too. He's not doing them anymore and the master had his hands on it. These cues cost a pretty penny, believe me.
I don't have all the facts about the history of Searing cues just yet, but I've had a few good conversations with him in the last few weeks. I've learned quite a bit about them and I know that perfection is what he demands of himself.
Thank you 'Country Bob' for the reply, Jerry
