One attribute that makes Paul Drexler stand out as a master cue maker is his exotic wood inventory, and his artistic expertise in when and how to use exotic woods. In 2004, collector Deno J. Andrews was speaking with Drexler when the idea to build a Titlist conversion (a seemingly mundane challenge) came about. Andrews knew that Drexler, if he were to make the cue, would make something completely out of the ordinary and radically different than any other Titlist conversion.

Titlist cues were made by Brunswick Corporation starting in late 1940, and to the public in early 1941. Known for their high quality today, the cues were considered ordinary house cues while they were in production. Certain examples of Titlists featured exotic hardwoods such as Brazilian Rosewood and Purple Heart. Most Titlists though used common woods. Drexler had a small inventory of ordinary Titlists at the time. He took one of them and cut out all of the handle and point wood. This process required him to chisel out the wood between the points by hand. Drexler wanted to keep the original veneers, so any mistake or slip of the hand in the chiseling process would have destroyed the project. Once the original points were chiseled out, Drexler machined exotic and highly figured cocobolo wood to fill the voids.

In true Titlist fashion, Drexler decided not to wrap the cue (Titlist house cues weren't wrapped). Instead, he continued using the exotic cocobolo in the wrap and in the butt section. Decorative black and white rings demarcate the handle area. The butt section also features a Hoppe Ring, named after Brunswick's "Willie Hoppe" model Titlists that originally came with Ivory discs and black fiber butt caps. The butt cap material in conversion is linen phenolic. The joint is ivory with a flat face and a Radial Pin screw. Overall, when many cue makers use inlay in Titlist conversions to make them more interesting, Drexler chose to decorate the cue with a choice piece of exotic wood, paying homage to the most desireable and collectible original Titlist displaying exotic woods.
