Willie Hoppe conversion by Cherrier

[Sunchaser]

I found four two piece Hoppes' at a goodwill for 1.99 each two years ago. Ya, I know right? Anyway, I gave two away for Christmas to two buddies for their collections. Kept one for the shop, and had my mentor convert one to my specs. Full on delrin! All white is delrin rod including a wood pilot 3/11joint. A couple abalone dots on the return points and a " tip of the hat" Rambowesque scrolled forearm...been hitting balls for a couple months with this one and love it! Many thanks to Pete Cherrier for makin this happen...bad pics I know....

great find on the hoppes

question............
is delrin joint & shaft collar threaded?

That is the longest delrin buttcap I have ever seen.

Thanks Brent and yes threaded joint collars. Many don't like delrin in cues but I do...it glows and I requested a longer butcap. Not everyone's cup of tea...but I love the flavor...Thanks for looking!
