If I ever get my hands on another old blank, you may be doing another one.Thanks to the OP for such nice words. The old Brunswick cues are the only cues I will touch outside of my own, I don't do repair work or conversions unless they are the higher quality of the Brunswick lines.
Thanks to Blackballed and Hawaiian Eye as well for chiming in, I always enjoy reading your posts. I rarely comment online anywhere but when I do, it's most likely on AZBilliards, the best.
Great news that has been missed this week is that the USPS seems to be back to normal. I sent 3 cues out on Monday, two showed up on the other side of the country on Wednesday and it looks like this one showed up on Thursday, very nice.
Very nice! Congrats on the new cue!View attachment 592030View attachment 592030A while back I mentioned that my son had found 2 Willie Hoppe titilist one piece cues in an antique shop while vacationing in Cape Cod- He purchased both ( in great shape) for $115 total. Now we had the cues converted by Cues Directly- Dave Brainard- Salem Oregon. here is my cue- received yesterday. the cue came out perfect! I added the rubber bumper, but can be removed with one screw to have that genuine Hoppe look. Points came out very vibrant. The cue hits like a dream! 3/8 10 pin - I cannot express how happy I am with the work done to this cue and how well it plays.View attachment 592031View attachment 592034
Any Gina titlists out thereThere's nothing better than to find a Titlist one piece cue. My wife has found me four one piece cues and I had three different cue makers convert them. I love them all. Back to the 60's when all the cuemakers used them Gina Cues were the best back in the day.
I have a couple by David - he does a really nice job on these conversions.View attachment 592030View attachment 592030A while back I mentioned that my son had found 2 Willie Hoppe titilist one piece cues in an antique shop while vacationing in Cape Cod- He purchased both ( in great shape) for $115 total.

Wow! Awesome cues and an awesome wife.There's nothing better than to find a Titlist one piece cue. My wife has found me four one piece cues and I had three different cue makers convert them. I love them all. Back to the 60's when all the cuemakers used them Gina Cues were the best back in the day.
No.Would it be a crime against all the amazing Titlist conversions I have seen here and elsewhere to have a titlist turned into a wood-to-wood Sneaky Pete?
Great. Thinking about starting to play regular again soon, a nice new cue would be good motivation.No.
Cause you can always go back and fancy if up.
