The titlist were made of a lot of different woods..not all cost the same or play the same.
My favorites would be ebony, purple heart, and some of the rosewoods.

Yes, I should have mentioned different woods as well.
Tip diameter, weight, butt wood...in other words the specifications.
But they are all Titlists built exactly the same way. A 1945 Titlist will play just like one from the 1960s with the same specs.
If you can tell the year of a Titlist, or whether or not Rambow was in the shop when it was built, just by playing with the cue then you are psychic.
It looks like the poster is asking to compare Rambow custom conversions with Titlists, which does not seem to make a lot of sense. The Titlist is a one piece production house cue and the Rambow is a custom conversion of it. Obviously a very different affair.
It sounds like he is looking for a player, for most people the best idea would be to buy or have built a modern conversion. I agree, ebony, purpleheart, and rosewood would be the most desirable from several aspects, not the least of which would be value and playability or feel.
For those that have a serious hankering to play with an antique Rambow cue, then obviously only a Rambow will do. It will of course be in very "old school" dimensions which would be less than ideal for an everyday shooter for most people.
