Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

S
I swore I would never use CF, I've been using a Becue cue for 5 yrs now, best hitting cue I've ever owned, if you've never tried a CF cue try the Becue, The Butt is CF too, one thing Becue does differently than other manufacturers is design different shafts for different types of hit, most manufacturers build the best shaft ever until a couple years and then the new shaft is the best ever, Becue has the original Prime shaft, reminds me of a Muecci shaft, the Engage shaft which feels like a true CF shaft, not a lot of feedback, and my favorite shaft, the Prime II shaft, to me it has the perfect blend of feedback and CF shaft feel to me, one thing I've found is shaft diameter doesn't make as much difference like in a wood shaft, so if you are used to playing with a 13 mm shaft you can use their 12.9 mm Engage shaft and still get the advantage of low deflection in a size shaft that feels comfortable to you, best way to know is hit one for yourself, Becue has many options for a cue that works for you 😉

Dumping - caught

A
See, if you were in jail, and you f^*ked with somebody, you disrespect somebody, you can end up dead. But out here in the real world, there's no consequences. They only had to apologize, which imo is nothing. I'm all for gambling in pool, but conspiring with several others to dump so everyone involved wins, even both players, to me that's just wrong.
If they were banned from competition for x amount of time, or lost their sponsorships for x amount of time they may think twice before pulling stunts like this.
In reality if there were any consequences, it would just teach them to become better at keeping it hidden. Burner phones or only in-person meetings should be pretty apparent when your trying to scam people out of that kind of money.

Looking for and extension solution

I have a cue that has a bumper and weight bolt system that is similar to Schon system, the bumper screws into the weight bolt.
The bolt is the same as Shon - 3/8-16.
The bumper itself is shorter than the Schon bumper and the cavity at the butt end is not as deep as the Schon's So using the Schon solution that I have from Budget Billiards won't work.
The bumper diameter is also a little bit smaller than the Schon's (25mm vs 25.4mm).

So I'm looking for a solution to add an extension for this cue.

I found this online, it looks like it might fit but it's a kit for making your own extension which I am not into doing or know how.

I haven't found something like that, that comes with an extension or a bumper that may take one of the extensions I already own.
I would also like to find a solution that does not add too much weight to it.

Any ideas on how get and extension for this cue?
It's not a main player so I don't want to spend too much money on this and I can use a slip on extension if I don't find a solution.

Tip glue?

B
I'd expect any of the contact adhesives to be too soft when set to work well for a tip. Stick with the CA gels, they are easy to use and hold well. If you don't want to use a CA, an epoxy that takes a while to set will also work well. The 5 minute epoxies often set flexible, which will act like the contact cements and allow the tip to shift around on every shot.

Rhetorical. People err and dismiss it to inevitable. They may have choice words and simply keep chugging away. The points and lines are relevant because being aware of the specific shot being attempted will at the very least serve to curb incompetence. The geometry is also the best practice gadget. It automatically maps any shot and won't budge while you work on congruence.

Ok... maybe I'm dense, but I don't follow what that has to do with what I said.
