Thanks, Just bought a 1m 6mm rod from DIY store and it fit the mezz bumper.

Do you happen to know what the external thread of the x-bumper? I got quite a few mezz bumper and would like to made custom extension for them. I would like to buy tap for threading the butt. regards

Just an update to this, I just replaced a ferrule for predator 314 2 and did make some measurement. The bore is 5 inches deep and the bore size is 7.2 mm. Thanks to all who replied.

What is the ideal bore size in the front end of the shaft to make it a low deflection shaft? Is anybody out here know what the hole size and how deep is the hole of the shafts below? 314 - mm? 314 2 - mm? WD700 or any mezz shaft - mm? Long drill bit is quite expensive and would like...

I done this but i have a cueman's lathe. Although i didn't go to a bigger drill diameter. If i can remember i used like 4mm dia drill bit. You might need to use around 6.5 mm diameter to really get it to LD shaft. You will risk of wrecking the shaft without a lathe.

Three beers before the match. Worries are gone but the head like floating when you consume them in a short period of time.:grin:

Definitely a double hit.

Thanks for your reply, I have a cuesmith lathe for sanding down shaft. Although i still want to bore it out even in a smaller diameter that will help I guess.

The tip diameter is around 12.90 mm. I was hoping it has 3/8 tenon but i cant confirm. I can cut the ferrule down to the tenon and measure. If 3/8 then i will bore it out. If not then i will replace the ferrule and just sand it down to around 12.6mm. Hope that will lower the deflection.

Hard to go back from LD to normal shaft. I believe from experience it is easy to play with LD shaft. I would probably buy LD shaft for it and keep this one as a backup.

Hoping that would be the worst scenario if the tenon wont remain intact.

Now i need to know what size is the tenon. Apology to Olney, just can't handle the deflection, i got used to low deflection shaft and find it hard to play with a high deflection shaft thats why i want to bore it out. Any chance you know the size of the tenon?

Thanks for your reply joey (kabayan). Even with the ferrule is in the shaft and change after boring it out?

Hi I would like to bore out the shaft on my player. Anyone can share what drill bit size should i use and how deep? I measured a mezz hp2 it was around 6.5 mm. Would like to know what is 314 2 bore size.

Anyone here knows if jeffs use slip on or threaded ferrule in his shaft. Reply is highly appreciated.
