Palmer Titlist

[luvndog]

Do they(palmer titlist) have a good hit? I think Titlists were made of the best woods ? Has anyone shot with one? Do some Titlists have better points or are they all about the same? I was looking at this one on ebay, is it a good blank? good points ?Palmer original model 9

The points vary quite a bit. Some are even, some are not. Best to ask the seller.

Titlist cues have their own feel, and generally they feel really good. These old Palmers played pretty good for their day, but they tend to be short (57") and many of the cues from this era will have warped shafts.

From the pics, I would say one shaft is original and one is a re-make. if the original shaft is straight, that's the one to play with.

This is a classic, collectible cue. This is very similar to a Balabushka. Perhaps, no longer a player but there is no harm in playing with one. I have several Model 9's and model 6's from this era and I really enjoy hitting balls with them.
