WILLIE HOPPE PRO CONVERSION by TONY SAUER

[MJParenti]

Hello everyone I thought I would share some pics and my experience in dealing with a new cuemaker out of Louisville, KY- Tony Sauer. I was left a 50's or 60's Willie Hoppe Pro and although it was nowhere near the perfect blank to start with Tony did a really nice job on the cue and maybe more important was the fact that he listened to exactly what I wanted regarding the butt, rings, joint etc. and he really executed it well. Additionally- he sent me progress pics and completed the cue within the timefame he promised! I also have a real nice Katz conversion by Tony I will post later...

Some before pics....

The cue had a linen wrap- this is exactly how I sent it to Tony.

It's a shame the sticker was not retained. Or did you not want it?

It came out great.

Very nice.

I hope you post the Katz conversion. I am a big fan of those and they are few and far between.

I am very impressed by the final product. The joint looks really nice. Love what he did with the buttcap.



Congrats and thank you for sharing,
Chris
