Increasing weight question

[garczar]

Have a cue that accepts the Atlas-style headless bolts and threaded bumper. With no bolt cue is 17.6. With a 1" bolt its 17.95. How can i get it to 19oz? 2" bolt is too long(no room for bumper) and too light. Tried tungsten powder but it took up too much space. Any ideas? Will the hole need to be deepened and threaded? Thanks

Re drill with .421 drill bit and tap with a 1/2 - 13 tap.

Then use a 1/2 Allen bolt which is much heavier than the 3/8 - 16.

I have been using 1/2 - 13 for 13 years and I love them because by buying different lengths they give me more flexibility.

I'm not a cuemaker. How much should this work cost?

If your bumper is 3/8-16 you will need to adapt a new type bumper to use. Brian.
