I don't remember seeing any use of cue extension in pool at all up until I quit the game and stopped following what's going around in 2010 or so.
First time I've seen extensions being used in pool was when I got back to pool about a year and a half ago... I'm sure it's been around longer but I just don't recall anyone using it between 2002 and 2010. maybe you meant 2012?

In snooker as I said, both screw-on and slip-on have been around well before 2002.

Ronnie O'Sullivan religiously shoots left-handed when needed. It always baffles me why he doesn't reach for the rake or an extension.

Ray Martin had a set of different length extensions the screwed in between the shaft and the butt. Making what looked like a very long joint. That was well before 2002. Miz had an extension he sold with his extending bridge system. That must have been in the early to mid 90s.

No, they popped up in about 2002, but the first screw on extensions were believed to negatively impact the balance point of the cue stick, so their popularity was not immediate. I first tried using a screw on extension in about 2006. Certainly, by 2012, almost everyone was using one in pro circles, but by then, cue manufacturers had long figured out how to have a screw on extension that did not significantly compromise the balance point of the cue stick. Like most innovations, they got it wrong before they got it right.

I must take your word on this.
