Dumping - caught

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?

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.

Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

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.

Going to try CF, any suggestions?

who cares if a brand makes a shaft or get a blank? If it plays well for you than it's worth what it costs.
Predator don't make anything, they used to make the 314 shaft at first but today, everything is sourced out.
The don't make the cues or the shafts or the tables or the balls or the lights or the chalk or the cases and so on... but they do have a group of talented designers and marketing department. And their products are of good quality (for the most parts, their current cases sucks for example)

I've tried the Mezz Ignite 12.2mm, it feels nice but deflects more than the Revo or the SMO, It's similar to the Cuetec.
Feel is something that you can get used to, performance is either there or not....
The OP wanted info on carbon fiber shafts. I just gave him some info I heard. Sorry to have pissed in your Corn Flakes. Have a nice day.
