It must be the lighting, the notched diamond is smaller than the one in the butt, he used a smaller endmill on the slots. But that's hard to see with my close up pics also.

Beautiful cue! What are those green things it's sitting on? I've seen those a bunch of times in other threads and I've always wondered...
Thank you very much, my wife says the green things are a waist of money,lol. Here is the link.

My pics are bad, but the cue looks a lot better than they show. Thank you very much. Rod.
I really really like this cue, the blank, the diamonds, even the wrap. The wood in the butt seems to match the points perfectly, so I'm assuming that's a full splice cue complete? Quite often the Titlist you start with is too thin and the cue maker has to push things "forward" which means adding a section to the butt.
That's really a great cue.
Thanks
Kevin
That's really a great cue.
Thanks
Kevin
It is amazing, I agree Kevin
Kevin, Most cue makers are building these very high end conversions much the same way they build their regular cues. That is they cut the blank just below the points and use a section of the handle of the cue for the butt section. Then they install a maple handle and voila! you have a perfectly balance modern spec cue made from a 50 yr old Titlist.
I Love Them...

I know, and sectioning them allows them to get around the size restriction of the blank. However, you end up losing the full-splice mystique. It looks like Showman (man his work is always so clean) either :
1) didn't section this cue,
or:
2) saved the butt when he did
or
3) matched new wood to old perfectly.
Do you know which he did in this case?
Kevin
I'm sure we can get John to comment on this, all I know is, the but sleeve and points are exactly the same grain and color. Thank you for the compliments also. I love everything about the cue. I'm an Irish linen guy for sure.:thumbup:
Great cue, Rod.....she's a beauty !!!! :thumbup:
I always like Showman's stuff. Two cue makers I way respect both told me if they couldn't play with their own cues, they'd choose a Showman.
Pretty cue there, right down to the green speck wrap and those popping green veneers.
