For that matter, if you cheat the pocket there's about an 85° cut, so it can be made in this case. I just don't think a true 90° cut (center pocket in this case) can be made with inside unless there's lots of swerve involved.

85 degrees is about the thinnest I could discern at average shooting distances. Might as well be 90.

Lucasi doesn't let u buy butt only. Im not sure how easy it would be to sell the shaft.

What do makers charge? I already have predator stuff and would like to keep everything interchangeable.

I don't think that anyone sells a butt without the shaft.
I've only seen Joss do that but they don't use uni-loc and don't have a classic SP.
For the Price of a Predator butt (if you can find one) you can get a full Lucasi cue with the shaft and some change.
BTW, the last Predator SP cues (classic look) had radial pin and nor Uni-Loc.

I don't know what custom cue makers charge, it's like asking how much does a car cost? different cue makers have different prices.
Best thing that you can do is ask the big on-line stores what they offer you, maybe they have an old predstor in stock, maybe they will sell a butt only, maybe they can make you one.

Buddy Hall was a great pool player and a legend in many respects. But I’m struggling to understand why people think that the fans of Buddy Hall or the pool community owe him money or his legacy money for funeral cost etc.? I mean I get pool is not like football baseball or basketball whereas the players are millionaires and have no financial issues but just because someone is a Pool fan and likes a certain player, certainly does not mean they should feel that they owe said player final expenses. Go ahead and flame me or say I’m an asshole that’s fine but at the end of the day no one should feel obligated to donate, and those that do want to donate good for them. Just my opinion…
