I was wondering if someone on here could tell me a little more on these. I here people talking about them all the time on here, but am still a little confused. Do they take the old titlist sticks, chop off half and throw a new shaft on them? There is a club in my hometown that i go tonce and a while. They have atleast 4 real old titlist cues in their racks. are these sticks hard to come by? Do they meake really good sticks if converted? Is it expensive to have someone convert it for you? when converted can the cuemaker throw inlays in? I know im asking a lot but am curious. I am dying to get a new vue, and i like the looks of the old titlist. any information would be much appreciated
titlist conversions

Usually the conversion is
Sometimes use all of the butt.
Sometimes, splice a new handle into it.
Recut the butt to a modern taper.
You can add inlays.
Yes, it can be expensive.

These look real nice. What's under the wraps? Did you joint them to maple handles, or leave the full splices intact?Michael Webb said:

Another question, is the leather wrapped one, less forward balanced of the two?Michael Webb said:
The proportions of it are definitely not "standard", but I like it.

Hi Mike
I did these quite a while ago. I still have access to this type of Titlist.

I added a splice to both, Balance points were within a 1/4 inch. Standard is what you make it.
I agree, but you did stray a litte from the norm and I like the result.Michael Webb said:

Yes Sir:
I like to stray. I like to make the unique. I have issues with duplication in my shop. I am going to do a few more and they will also be different.
