Question about Titlist conversions

[PickPocket]

Quick question...

Concerning the shaft... I could see why the cue would take on the "Hit & Play" characteristics of the Cue Maker if they build the shaft from scratch, but what if they modify the original shaft? (or is this process even used?)

I am not saying it never happens, but I have never seen the shafts reused.

I have seen a few conversions that were made from dead straight old titlist that they used the shaft for...it's done more so for the look of the shaft to match the forearm which has a rich, dark almost honey color to it. Newer maole shafts are white in color from the prossss of drying and stabilizing the wood.

So what your saying is... "The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice?!"

Well, I did get the cue and can only say it was all I had hoped for plus a little more. A couple of small issues that the previous owner never addressed, not condition wise, that is perfect. The balance point was a little longer than I prefer, and it is a little heavier. I need to contact Andy and see if the weight can be changed easily.
In answer to my original question, with this cue anyway, it plays like any other Gilbert I have ever played.
