cuenut said:Thanks for the pics. This is probably the nices wrapless Titlist conversion I have ever seen. It is weird how different colors in the cue itself make the difference in overall appeal. Someone else recently posted a Titlist conversion with an added maple butt sleeve that I really didn't care for.
I love the simple but elegant splice in the butt sleeve. However, for this cue, I think there may be some loss if the maple in the butt sleeve does not match the patina of the forearm.
All Titlist blanks were not created equally! Also, what is appropriate for a Titlist conversion (or any other cue) is totally a matter of personal preference. I just picked up my first Titlist conversion that did NOT have a hoppe ring, and I love it - never thought I would be able to say that.
I agree with the maple buttsleeve thing - I think the buttsleeve wood should match the points, but I think that is true for any cue - JMO
