I purchased a Balance Rite Cue extension for a 3/8 X 10 pin OB1 cue. The extra length is just what I needed but I noticed the cue wobbles badly when all together and rolled on a pool table. If I put the extension just on the shaft it rolls fine, if I put the extension on the butt and the shaft the thing wobbles incredibly bad. I've tried to have it refaced but it seems to still be off. I'm thinking the threads are not on center in the extension. Just wanted anyone's opinions on these things and I seen other people had the same issue. I'm just looking for a extension that will roll together and apart on my cue, thoughts? Does anyone know where I can purchase a 3 inch butt extension for a OB Butt?
Where can you purchase a 3 inch butt extension?
- Thread starter I miss alot
- Start date
" Check with a local cue-maker/Repair person....
See if they can make you the extension

He's made a few for me, always done right. He will do whatever length, thread combo you need. even cross threads.

if the extension rolls straight on the shaft but not on the butt, then the problem possibly is that the threads in the butt are not centered or the end surface of the butt is not true to the butt.
The extension rolls straight with the shaft, the shaft rolls straight with the butt. I don't think the problem is in the extension.
Re-read the post. Realized that this extension is mid cue and not for the butt. So my answer would not apply to the problem.
I need to read and look at pictures more carefully!

I think that the Balance Rite extension is geared toward people who want to add weight and move the balance point of the cue. I tried a friends cue that had one and liked the feel. But yeah, quality control isn't too good on them.
If you're not concerned about changing the weight/balance, OB makes an extension. If you want the weight/balance change, check out the AZB guy referenced earlier. Lots of positive reviews on his products.

In this case, it's probably the extension. Balance Rite is known for taking a straight cue and making it a slightly wobbly cue. :grin:
I appreciate it, I reached out to him.
Was it a butt extension or mid section (Between Butt and Shaft)?
Newsheriff does great work. You'll like his "mid's"
Balance Rite is pure inaccurate junk.
Cue Extension by Guido Orlandi
Here are a couple pics... I'll have some more later. This extension goes between the Shaft & the Butt.
This particular Extension is on my Cue. I have Guido's Conical Tapered joint, best in the world.The tapered joint ensures concentricity in the screw diameter & outside surface. It also guarantees, longitudinal straightness.
Guido's number is 906-542-7069, this week he is at a big Pool Tournment

"Wow.....

Blokid on here is another good option. He does good work at reasonable prices and in a reasonable time frame.

You can order them from seyberts. Also depends on if you want middle ext or butt ext.
Did I miss something?
Why aren't you returning the Balance-Rite for one that's straight?
