Here it is: Fabulous Willie Hoppe Titlist two piece cue, full spliced redesigned by Ned Morris in 2014 with ivory pieces all over. NO wrap as it shows all the original colored veneers at the bottom and the veneers are even at the bottom. The original ivory butt ring is fabulous and is in one piece (never cracked) and is cross cut from ivory. Luckily, the "Willie Hoppe" signature stays in print and "21" the weight symbol stays in tact. ( Ned said it was lucky to save those prints as he had to sand them down) I spoke to Ned about his building this cue in 2014. He told me this is the best Willie Hoppe cue in Gaboon ebony he's ever seen. The original owner kept the two shafts so I ordered two more to match. One in Ned's Evolution CF shaft and one is the kief wood shaft. Both have soft tips and made to match joints. The joint is 3/8 X 10. It is expensive and as most of you know just the two piece 1940's Willie Hoppe in gaboon ebony would cost $2,000 to $2500 for itself and another $2-3K for conversion to today's standard. Additional for ivory as Ned did in 2014. The butt weighs 15.5 oz and 29 5/8" long. Kiel shaft weighs 3.4oz and 30 1/4" long, tip 12.62mm. Evolution CF shaft weighs 3.9oz and 301/4" long, tip is 12.88mm. This cue is absolutely amazing. Prettiest cue I've ever seen and the history of Titlist Willie Hoppe ebony cue from 1940. This cue seems brand new and in perfect condition. Zero marks. $5,000 (4,250 now) for this jewel. Only USA for sales..
