The ferrule could be loose or cracked (inside). I have fixed a bunch for that. I haven't seen the shaft yet, but I had someone call me last week because there is something loose inside the shaft.

I had settled on the Bulletproof for a while. Great break tip, no issues. I tried the C4 tip. This is my new tip now. The C4 holds chalk well. Scuffs easy when needed. I have it on a Purpleheart shaft and everyone that has tried it loves it. I installed one on a CF shaft for a guy and then he...

Yeah sorry, I’m not paying $34 plus shipping.

The Kamui Black Med is out of stock everywhere I normally get them. Probably just a supply chain thing, but maybe they are planning on replacing them with something new idk? There is the Athlete now and I heard a rumor there is another new one to come out.

I did a few at first like that too. My current shaft was done that way. 5/16 (0.312) will work because the threads will still cinch it down tight. Boring it to 0.308 is more accurate and I also use a tight fit tap. The shaft feels less sloppy while screwing it on. Both work but .308 is better...

I started using the small gorilla glue tubes. When I used the big bottles I just wrote the date on it. After a month it got moved to only general use or prepping the tip. I do love that the loctite is a small tube in a fancy bottle. I have a small fridge on my bench I keep them in.

Everytime this question comes up Bob’s web page explaining this comes up lol. The threads on the outside are the same. The minor is different so re-running the tap does nothing. Basically, the inner hole is narrower on your shaft than you need to accommodate the fatter inner diameter of the...

The ones people have brought me hated them because the tip would come loose and they played terrible. The long ferrule, brass insert, and brass screw create a lot of deflection also. I don't charge extra to cut it off if I am installing the tip. If someone is trying to do it by hand, they will...

Having the ferrules replaced is the best option of course. Done a few both ways. The issue is there is a heavy brass insert. Filling it with epoxy is just adding to the problem. Typically, the ferrule is long on these so you can cut off the end and still have enough ferrule to work with...

Thanks. I didn’t have any dark Cocobolo to match but with the shaft on, the rings bookending it looked good.

I do think it might have been Bondo, but whatever it was it is gone.

Haven't seen the OP chime in. I wonder if he got the cue and what he thought about it.

Hard to tell from just that picture. End grain helps if possible. 1- Mahogany 2- Brownheart 3- Rosewood
