Is this worth converting?

[jimmy91988]

Hey guys. I found this cue and was wondering if it would be worth converting. Is it full spliced? Thanks for the info

 

[deanoc]

Hey Deanoc,

Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering because in this thread http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=129113

Manwon said these are not worth it. Are there different types of the Challenger cues?

Thanks

You never know until the first cut when you get the cheap sealer off but it might be curly.

The weight would help greatly as the heavier ones seem to have more meat which gives more room to bring the points in.

Is it worth

If it's like the ones I have seen, not worth it. The points are painted on.
So it's just a solid wood cue.

I have never seen a Challenger that was spliced. They were one piece Maple cues that had stained points. The good news is the points were almost always even.

I was also under the impression that the Challenger cues had painted points.

The brown bumper might be worth more than the rest of the cue. LOL! :wink:

Its hard to tell from this pic but compared to the others....somethings fishy. Looking at the area just above the Brown bumper you can see some light wood where the stain has been chipped or abraded away.
