I'm gonna try this, has Anyone else? My 89 Kikel shafts, that I used during my play days is worn way too thin. It was a 13 mm, but after too much play the shafts are WAY smaller and whippie.
So I tried this, I had (Ernie Martinez) cut one of the two shafts.... 2'' shorter and reinstalled the ivory ferrule, it works good for bar tables (56'' cue) but it's still too thin.
Kikel also made me a 5'' extension. So....
I'm now going to cut that same shaft again and make it 24'' in length. Then I will attach the 5'' extension to the cue and the shaft, making the cue 58'' again.
It will then have allot more forward weight (the cue will probably be heavier than it's original weight) it will be very interesting to see how it ''feels'' and plays since it's balance point will change.

Your thoughts....I'm hoping it will be stiff, like a carbon shaft.
 
Did Dave use a radial pin on your cue? its been so long ago, but i'm thinking he didn't use a radial on my old cue back then. If yours is a radial call me tomorrow. I might have something for you.
 
Why not buy a partial shaft and have somebody use the existing ringwork of the old shaft and make a new shaft(s).?
 
Bill,

I have made 3 piece cues in the past.
They work just fine and are way easier to travel with.
I had some smaller Radial pins made just for them.

It would be really interesting if someone were to make a quality 3pc cue in full carbon fibre. That could present a real 'travel' cue about which one doesn't have to be concerned about warpage fromsimply leaving it in the trunk, could maintain a more conventional balance point, etc.
