Not sure what you mean by "telescopic", but there's this Balance Rite extension which goes in between the butt and shaft: https://www.pooldawg.com/balance-rite-forward-weighted-pool-cue-extension However, when I see the word "telescopic" I think of something like this...

John, Leather wraps have been covered extensively here over the years. Have you tried searching the archives? They're really very helpful. Gary

Kelly, I'll send you a PM Gary

ET, I suspect, especially given your location, that the tip is not your problem. It may very likely be the ferrule material. Read through this thread: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=430288 Hope this helps, Gary

There are some plastics used on Asian cues that just don't take the glues that we commonly use. Obviously they can be stuck with SOME kind of glue because the original tips stay on, but I've yet to hear anyone here identify that sticky substance. I would agree with Michael, talk to your...

Be safe all and have a great day! Gary

3Rail, I couldn't find any videos on YouTube.com with "3RailDraw" as the poster. What name are they posted under? Gary

TenBall, A popular combination for CNC here is Mach3 control software, Gecko G540 controller, and NEMA23 stepper motors. MVPCues (a member here) sells a software package that will create the GCode for tapers for you. There's a lot more that goes into it, but those are the basics. Dave - IIRC...

Dick Neighbors years ago shared an even simpler way to make a weight bolt. Buy a length of 3/8-16 all-thread rod (or 1/2-13 if you need a really big weight bolt). Cut the all-thread to the length (weight) that you want. Mount 2 cutoff discs on a Dremel tool or similar. This makes the cut we...

I have to admit that's the first time I remember that question coming up! Usually it's "How do I reduce deflection?" :thumbup: Gary

Yes a template is required - just as it is for any wrap jig. Gary

Guys, Years ago Darren Hill shared this design. Mine works fine and has lasted a long time. Starts on post #12. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=105742 FYI Gary

I'm not one to argue with Kelly, but on my PC, there is clearly a void where the orange ring was pulled out - in the picture I can see the edges on the upper black fiber ring and lower edge of the butt cap where the ring used to be. But the void only appears to be 1/32 or less deep. Can you...

Or it might be referring to the bottom points on a full-splice blank. In that case "tightest points" could also be "sharpest points". A reference to the discussion on the main forum would help. My 2 cents, Gary

Wow is correct! First of all, you got your refund. :thumbup: Secondly, all the recent speculation about who "rem_macs" really is and this eBay seller was outed as being Jeff Forney Sr. Gary

Is it tapered? Gary

OK no problem. Enjoy your weekend! Gary

Not to diverge this thread, but you should have gone with the Ultra Skin "Pro" for grip. IMHO Gary

I also use 6 wing 1/4" slot cutters. My experience is I get the best result when I spin my shaft at ~300 rpm and a feed rate of 5 in per min. Roughing cuts I use up to 20 ipm, but the last few passes I take off .005 - .002 at the slowest feed rate. Hope this helps, Gary
