Extension Adapter

dquarasr
Apologies if this has been recently asked (I sorta remember a thread about this but I can't find it.)

What parts would I need to fashion an adapter for cues with the butt bumper attached to the butt via the weight bolt? I have a series of cues (Adam, Orchid, and Helmstetter) that all seem to use the same butt bumper attachment, that is, a long screw that goes into the weight bolt. Are parts available to screw into the weight bolt, which would allow an extension to be screwed into it (and still have the rubber bumper, or "a" rubber bumper)? If such parts exist, where can I get them?

See photos attached. Thanks much.

I agree with your statement, but it's definitely a pattern I have been noticing, especially in league play. When everyone used the cheap house chalk, I rarely saw skids. Now, 90% use taom, predator, or kamui and I see skids very often.

It's possible that this is partially due to the fact that equipment has getting faster so many will hit softer more often but still. Everyone says it's cleaner, and it's true, marks aren't as visible on the CB, but there is definitely a residue left behind.

Even as SBE, skids cost both me and my opponents a few racks. I stopped shooting softly after the 2nd time!

Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

Only the willfully obtuse are still claiming good hit. Worse than them, are the ones condemning Yapp. It’s a professional match, with a full time professional referee. You don’t call fouls on yourself, under those circumstances.

All of these things are true:

- According to people here who's opinion I trust Yapp is a good guy
- He is a phenomenal pool player
- It was a foul
- He has now been involved in two fouls in the last game of championship matches, one of which would have very likely changed the outcome
- There is no excuse for the referees to get this wrong any more except for the largely "oh well" attitude from us, the viewers

Better Act Fast……Public Service Announcement

I got them in the mail and just finished weighing and measuring them.

Weight ranged from 166.8 grams to 168.3 grams.

Diameter ranged from 2.244 to 2.25 inches.

A friend of mine has a set of Centennials, so I went over and weighed and measured them and they were were within the same weight and diameter range.

If anyone thinks the weights or diameters are off, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
