Modifying Butt End of Cue

Has anyone ever modified the butt end of a cue to accept a screw in extension? I have been wanting to get a 4" extension for my PureX cues but some only have a butt plug without any threads in the butt end.

I was thinking there might be a way to get a tool that can cut thresds in the butt, but the opening for the bumper plug seems too large to cut threads without making the wall too thin. I know there are threaded inserts that can go in some of the popular cue brands, but I haven't seen any for PureX cues.

I am willing to modify the butt end to accomodate the extension, although I don.t know what is the best way to go about it. Hopefully someone out there has been able to solve this prooblem and can give me some constructive advice on how to modify the cue or where to purchase an insert, plug and 4" extension for PureX cues.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

@drdave It's funny the 12.5 WSC does not line up with your last video. It's score rates it better then expected. It's about as good as a revo maybe a little less, but very close

I'm not sure what you mean by "does not line up." The performance was identical to the Revo. Honestly, I didn't expect that, but it is what it is.

In light of comparing across videos, I decided to summarize the results. Based on the Revo changes between videos, I decided it to multiply results from first video by .77 to account for changes in cloth, etc and this gives same result for Revo in second video.

I also added a field called "Variance" which is difference in deflection between Slow and Fast speeds, which would likely account for aiming adjustment needed.

It looks like Wheat State is the winner of the results. Whether it is worth the price is up to the buyer, but the results look good.

Dr. Dave, do you approve of these conclusions?

Looks good to me. I think the most reliable numbers are the NPLs since they are much less sensitive to conditions.
