Trying to add cue extender to a 2005 Andy Gilbert

[lord_shar]

Hi all, just checking if there are any existing kits out there to add an extender to my 2005 Andy Gilbert playing cue. Here are images of the area under the bumper:

Any feedback /advice is appreciated.

I'm an amateur but have added a couple extensions to cues. There's several different versions. You'll have to pull the weight bolt out and match the threads and fit to the but. That's your starting point.

I'd like to find one that does not require changing the weight bolt. I did run across some extenders that only replace the bumper, but these have to be custom made.

Looks a lot like the back end of my Schons. If so, Rick Roper makes them for most any cue.

All the ones I've seen need the threaded hole the weight bolt screws into for attachment.

Love that Schon SH102 I remember reading that Rick Roper has a newer Schon extension bumper version that looks similar to the stock bumper -- that's the one I'm interested in if available. Maybe this will work for both of my cues:

Looks like a little copyright infringement right there, unless he is authorized by Schon.

He is authorized, and yes his new bumpers resemble a stock bumper. I think he had to modify the extension also.
In fact, I am having him make a bumper for a Jacoby I just purchased. Reason I am having him make one is while Jacoby has a nice quick release one, I dont want to buy all new extensions as I have 3 different lengths. He has to make one in the old style to match my existing extensions.
I actually had one of my cues at Schon with his bumper on it.
I know the old style, I had to send him measurements of the butt cap area.
With his old style, the bumper screws into the weight bolt in the same manner the stock one did.

Thank you for the recommendation - I've sent him an e-mail

I have some Jacoby extensions on my non Jacoby cues.
