What is a Full Splice and what is a Titleist conversion?

half splice + half splice = full splice <-- a double half splice?

Nah, just kidding...

See how the wood inside the points connects to the handle wood? This is a full splice. Most sneaky petes are full splice as well. They just don't have the veneers.

A full splice is just a method of connecting the forearm to the handle. It is considered the most solid method of construction but it is considerably more work to execute. Hence the crazy prices on full splices with veneers.

This is a cue early in the process. See how the wood in the points doesn't continue down in the handle? There is ebony in the points and a maple handle. This is a half splice.

The second picture will show you how we connect the half splice to the handle on our cues.

That is a thread about the titlist. The link in my post is most excellent.

Hope this helps,

Here is some more accurate information about the Brunswick Titlist. The Titlist was produced starting in the early '40s, but evolved from the much earlier model 26.5, and Carom King. It's two piece counter-part is called the Hoppe Professional.
