Kim,
I had to check my Cue Monster on the Y travel after your post. I get 1.475 travel on mine. Not sure where the difference is, just thought I let you know. Of course these are the extremes of the travel also.

I just modify my standard bumper when I am asked to make an extension for one of my cues. Rubber gets really hard when it's really cold.

I have one customer that uses a PH shaft for shooting and they love it, but the cue butt is curly PH and ebony so it makes a good match.
