Titlist Convertion for sale

Educate me please

Do titleist cues offer an exceptionally firm hit? What little I know about older cues is that the wood seems to harden over time. I'm not sure if there is anything to it, or if the grade of maple was higher than what is available now. A little info from an expert would be appreciated
 
Hi This cue has 2 new shafts . The butt section is old . The stainless steel joint and the taper of the shafts and the tip and ferrels give this cue a nice crisp hit. Just a little heavy for what I like to shoot with. I shoot with a 17.1 oz cue now. Thanks Jim

The Titlist cues offer seasoned old woods for the butt. The type of joint will affect the hit as much as anything else on the converted butt. The taper that the converting cuemaker will use will also affect the hit.

Having said that, the bulk of the "hit" of the cue will come from the shaft that is made to accompany the converted butt. Most cuemakers build their accompanying shafts the same as their regular customcues, so the "hit" of the Titlist conversion SHOULD be very close to the "hit" of the cuemaker's standard custom cue...that will include the shaft wood, taper, ferrule, and tip...all of these affect the "hit".
