ok ive been reading bout conversion cues

what is the difference like you see a scruggs titilist , or any custom cue . or a regular cues ?


and is a conversion better then regular made cues ??? and which is more expensive

any benefits for either ???
 
Most of the time when you see "conversion", it is converting a one-piece cue into a two-piece cue.

A prime example is taking a house cue and cutting it in half and "converting" it into a Sneaky Pete.

Titlist cues were Brunswick's most expensive one-piece cues when they were being produced, then they came out with a two-piece Hoppe model.

Many of the old school cue makers used Titlist blanks when they first started out making cues.

Old one-piece Titlist cues are pretty hard to find now and can be quite expensive if you find a nice one.

I have two Titlist conversion cues. One I bought new in 1973 and another I had made several years ago from a one-piece cue I picked up from Detroit. The one-piece cue I got from Detroit was made in the 1950s.

You can see the Detroit one in the following links:
