It's time to do something with these Herman Rambow Cues.
I say 75-years old because the original owner died in 1942, and Titlists came out in 1939.
75 years has to be close.
My first thought was some kind of complete modernization, like original Titlists re-converted into fancy full spliced players.
Some have talked about matching the original finish, and keeping everything as original as possible.
Either way I am ordering 4 new shafts to match the originals...12.75 pro taper.
Obviously not as long as the original shafts, but I want to play with these cues.
Both cues are very playable as-is, straight (one is close the other straight) especially
with Josswest & Schon shafts, and I've tried Schuler, Black Boar, even Predator.
I think it's a tricky little project, and as far as values are concerned, the price of
Herman Rambow cues are not exactly skyrocketing, so the shop I send it to will be as important as anything.
I included some pics to show how long the original shafts are.
What do you think?
