Titleist re-conversion... Before and After

[bflojosh]

I just received my Titleist back from Lee Peppers and he did a great Job! It was originally from Ray Schuler's shop (after he died I think). I didn't like the plastic parts so I sent it out to LP Custom Cues for some work.

All of the white is ivory. It has a radial pin, and the Bushka style ringwork from Mr. Peppers' website. He also matched the ringwork on my Predator shaft.

I can't say enough good about dealing with Lee. He responded quickly to my emails and he offered a price that was significantly lower than a couple of well known cuemakers I've spoken too.

I don't think he did... he did a much better job on the clear coat than what was originally on the cue though :thumbup:

what a nice cue. i'm looking for a cue just like that. how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking.

I would say the apparent difference in color is directly associated with the light source used during the photography.

Different lights have different "colors". What I mean is that color is a reflection of the light source. This can be seen easily at a pool hall with fluorescent lights that in inadvertently picks a different color tube and the colors on adjacent tables are obviously not the same.

That would probably account for the color difference in the wood too. Its actually closer to the color in the newer pics.

Would it be better to put on a wrap to cover the damaged veneers?

 

[Double-Dave]

That came out real nice!

I thought about it, but I really prefer wrapless cues. For some reason a wrapped cue doesn't feel right to me.

Hey Dave!
Thanks for a good deal on a Titleist with nice bright veneers
