Alternative McDermott Butt Extension?

[mescarcega]

I own a couple of McDermott cues and I want to use an extension on some of them. I really don't like McDermott's extensions, and their Engage bumper has to be retrofit. Is there some sort of kit that goes into a McDermott butt that can accept other types of extensions, like a Predator one? Most of my McDermott's have what I believe is a 1/2"-13 threat for the weight bolts. Maybe someone has a type of extension kit for it?

Out of curiosity, why don't you like it? I did the retrofit on my G-series.

I also added the 11” extension to my G series and RS series. I am very pleased. The kit comes with a 1.5 oz bolt but you can order any bolt from 1-3oz. Extra butt caps can also be ordered to fit the extension to all your McDermotts. I doubt any other generic, one type fits all, extension kit would be any better.

I would be fine doing the retrofit but I play with different McDermotts. It would get way too expensive to retrofit all of them. I’m tempted to buy the 11” G-core adaptor, but the extension is too long and too heavy. The 6” Engage would be just fine but I don’t want to ship out my cue and wait months for it to get retrofitted.

I do want to buy a kit, but the extension is a little too heavy and long for what I’m looking for. I’d much rather a 6” one.

Look up Rick Roper on Facebook he makes some great carbon fiber extensions for all cues. I've been using one for a couple years and my friend uses one of his shaft extensions with a revo uniloc.

There is really no way around buying one for every cue you want to use it on, either from them or from some custom maker. If you have several cues, use what you use, and send the others to get worked on. I'm sure you will live with "only" one cue to use LOL. If you only use it occasionally for extra reach, you can get a $20 one that attaches over the whole buttcap area and is removed in a second, goes on any cue.

I own over 10 McDermott cue, from lucky-start- H series and VQM1 break cue and jump cue. And the G 605 series worth $1100 and the butt have no option to use extension. To me McDermott fallen behind with other name brands on this option. That’s make many pool cue players start to use Cuetec more (I own one as well Cynergy VSB 95-130DE) . Cuetec standard comes with extension in the box and the price is the same as the McDermott VQM1 Mach 1 break cue.
McDermott will losing users on this purpose. Anyone agrees with me?
