Tyvm sir. Good to remember Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

Ah, thanks. I think that's the way I'm going. Probably a G-Core but possibly an "i-series" LD shaft. From what I gather, changing joints on my existing shaft is the least desirable while most advice says get a retail shaft. No shipping of the butt across the globe for little or no gain. Thanks...

Ok, to make things clear then: Yes, I own a Meucci which I use frequently. Got the original shaft plus a Haag one. I also have an older Viking with a Vikore shaft. On top of that some noname 5.280 or something j/b And an extra Haag shaft w no butt. Joint unknown, not Meucci and not McD. I don't...

Thanks for the realistic input. Don't know which way to go, hence the questions that for some ppl seem to be stupid enough. I only want to know what my different options will get me. If this or that is a dumb way to go, or if it's realistic and meaningful to spend like 100-150 usd extra for "the...

Oh well thanks anyway. If the butt cost this or that isnt the issue here, at least not for me. I liked it so I bought it, end of that. Can you instead tell my why to go McD instead of, say, Viking or whatever? And why to send the butt to US instead of getting an off-the-rack shaft from the...

So will Haag cues here in Sweden. I send my shaft and butt to them, they match them together. Shipping to and from the US plus import taxes means another 100-130 USD on top of the shaft itself Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

Thank you for that link [emoji3] At least now I know what I bought [emoji16] Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

Cheap isn't a spec in my book either [emoji3] Bang for bucks is interesting though and since I live in Scandinavia, ordering from the US means that shipping costs, import taxes etc will have a significant impact on the price total. Why a McD shaft instead of a 3rd party maker? To keep the que...

So, I picked up this McDermott cue from a friend, unfortunately no shaft included. Neither of us had even a rough idea of its value but I loved the appearance and the feel of leather wrap, he only had it sitting in an old case, never to be used, so we agreed on a price that both were ok with...

Ouch, do you know me that well..? [emoji16] Those are great words put together in an eye opening perspective when I look back to try to figure out why I'm one of those you described, one that probably missed that turn many many years ago. Thanks Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

Ok, based on a majority voting for the butt type, that's the road I'll go. Thanks all, for the input Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

I'll add one thing that I believe has upped my "game of life", I recognize your first point also. • Focus. Practicing pool over a longer period of time has enabled me to shut down distractions around me. Be it in a game of pool or in my work, when I'm up I kinda go into a bubble of my own...

Ah, sorry.. It's for those occasions that I can't reach and the bridge is "almost unnecessary". Not for use on every shot, so to say Skickat från min SM-G988B via Tapatalk

Yes, I want those extra inches for added reach occasionally but since I live in a country that's retarded billiard wise I would have to get in the car for 4 hrs one way, just to see one in real life... So, the question really is, I guess, will the butt extension (correct name?) feel more natural...

Ok, so english isn't my first language, so please bear with me for not knowing the correct names for what I'm about to ask in option 1 and 2 below. I'm sure you'll know what I mean though. Hopefully [emoji16] Question is about choosing the best/most versatile cue extension and why one is better...
