Balance Rite forward weighted (2 oz) pool cue extension for multiple Joint Styles. This 3.75"" extension conveniently go between your shaft and butt to give you that little extra length you need on some shots is actually designed to be used on every shot.
Google for vender list... but here are some images from Seybert and PoolDawg.com
Some (like me) may not prefer this aesthetic this per se BUT it not to hard to modify. With that said...
I love shooting with an extended cue... and these extensions rock!... I received a couple of these this past week just as an experiment. As for as the aesthetics, I'm re-shooting mine (soon) with either Black carbon fiber or Complete Gloss Black with CA over sealer. The real cool thing about these is that you can jump between joint pins by simply replacing the back insert (ie 5/16 14 M/F extension unit is switched to a mixed System of 5/16 14-Male with a 5/16 18 Female insert) With this now my New MEZZ WX900 United Joint (5/16 14) now fits my 5/16 18 pinned cues. ..OR any combination you want...ie Uniloc, 3/8 10 etc
Now if you REALLY want to see something special... try this if you get a chance.... I happen have the new Predator Air 2 (like $160 online now- awesome jumper btw) that has the Uniloc 'quick disconnect joint' on the last section of the this jump Cue. Well with this Balance rite extension you can quickly add 2 oz to the cue making this 47" jump cue now a 50" incher that can now double as a SUPER Lite weight, SUPER FAST and POWERFUL Breaker!!! When I tell you I've tried to break the cue ball in half on a break shot more than 50 time in a row 3 days ago, I mean I tried to shatter this cue with full on force from the back section (just behind the B-R extention) of this AIR 2 Jumper. Btw YOU Must have good fundamentals to deliver a power break that sounds like a 45 going off. Balls going everywhere and good control of the CB. Immediately a jump shot is avail (with 2 quick turns) if necessary, after the Crush. I'm still hurting on my right shoulder and biceps from swinging so hard so many times trying to make the joints fail. It never even flinched.
This is a SOLID joint extension to say the least and MAN does it do a lot of jobs with a little 'extra work'. After moving an once or so out of the butt of some of my 'adjustable' cue buts, I now shoot with it 100% of the time without changing it out during a match. Personally I like the forward weight change. With this extension, I now have a new "set of CUES" (if I want) that are 62" to 64" that Hit so much better. Even my "Cheap Cues" with this extension and the high dollar shafts on board play awesome. I have over looked this tool in the past and now that I have put some time into in have a new prospective of what i can do with this... including making my high dollar shafts (and cue butts) 'Cross Platform' and "lengthy" like I like. Aesthetics are always adjustable at this expense level... imo
For what a new LD shaft cost these days there no reason this shouldn't be in the arsenal considering what shots I can now actually reach that are > than 3/4 length of the table and can do with it without even thinking about having to go adjust it mid match. Also I like being able to hold the cue mid grip as the balance point as opposed to the back of the Cue where most of the weight is normally.
I really like what this has to offer. Thanks to whoever made it avail. I couldn't find the manufacturing Company but its a solid product at a reasonable price.. I now have lets say more than 4 that I have modified for my cues to play 100% of the time with them on.. My set of extensions (some of which I'm modified for 'cross platform' use) is still less then 1/2 of what my Mezz WX900's or my my 30" Z2 cost.
Great Product imo,
Randy

..."I actually use it and love it. I personally prefer more forward balance in my cue and don't mind my cue being longer than normal so what i did was took the weight out of the butt of my cue which happened to be around 2oz and started playing with this extension and freaking loved the way it changed my balance point and it did it without adding overall cue weight. And as i quickly found on a hard to reach shot the extra 4 inches was huge so I still had control and didn't have to stop my mojo to grab a rear extension or a bridge (which i can't seem to use anyways). Anyway... i love it and use it for balance and feel. I wouldn't recommend using it just for an extension since it's not easy to go on and off but to completely change the feel of a cue, especially if it's butt heavy, buy it and love it. I believe Thorsten Hohmann has started to use it just because he likes it, not for any kind of endorsement... FYI. I hope this helps?"
