Don't forget walnut, wenge, mahogany, & several other rosewoods besides braz. that could be gotten in those days. Brunswick used anything that was hard & relatively stable & available. I did a conversion a couple of years ago that was angico (patagonian rosewood). It's most commonly used in floors, but found it in a Titleist. I did a conversion on one very old Bruns house cue that had a camatillo rosewood butt, so I assume Titleists were made from it as well. Like a box of chocolates 
As for playability, it depends on each individual cue. After conversion playability depends on the quality of materials used & quality of conversion. I have built conversions from the late model walnut Titleists made in China, and they played great after completed. I have done rosewood, wenge, mahogany, purpleheart & ebony & none played better than another. Dark rosewood is my favorite in terms of asthetics.
