    HANSHEW FORWARD EXTENSION

    First, what diameter is your shaft? Seems like there could be some variation in a smaller diameter shaft. I've been shooting with 12.9s of late so that's all I've shot on so far. I'll throw an 11.8 in my bag and see if it makes a difference. Off the top of my head, I'd say take the fastener...

    BK Rush

    I can only speak for myself, but my disdain for Predator is that almost all of their stuff is made overseas in production factories. They have to know that they can ramp production and still sell all the BK Rushes they can manufacture but choose to not do so for some reason. That, and they...

    HANSHEW FORWARD EXTENSION

    Apologies, I missed your questions. From what I remember Hanshew's wife telling me when I bought it, they are on the third or fourth iteration now and the rubber ring material was one of the things they changed because there were some issues with marking in earlier versions. At worst, I have...

    Butt Protection

    There's an older gentleman I know that shoots with an original Balabushka in a bar league. It looks nothing like the CoM cue so most folks wouldn't recognize it.

    Wood over CF shaft options

    I do as well, but it's just laminated, not CF cored.

    HANSHEW FORWARD EXTENSION

    I've got one and I like it quite a bit. It fits snuggly on a variety of diameters of shafts. My favorite part of the forward extension is that you use your normal shooting geometry and stroke with it. Any questions about it?

    Wood over CF shaft options

    I like the McDermott Intimidator shafts, particularly the i2. I've had one for ~20 years and it still plays great.

    It's essentially become smooth over time, which paradoxically, makes it play worse.

    Extension - 3D Rendering

    Have you seen the Hanshew forward extension? Works really well and is only about a half ounce. This link looks weird but it is the actual webstore for Hanshew: https://1ds4cg-mw.myshopify.com/ If you find it suspect (wouldn't blame you), Google Hanshew forward extension. I've got one and it...

    Favorite tips so far.

    I'll have one on a Revo in about a week. It had a Victory medium on it and will have a soft when it gets back from Predator. I have no complaints with the medium, just liked the Hybrid Max and Fusion better on a Revo so far.

    Favorite tips so far.

    If you don't need to order 10 at a time, I'd suggest Cue Components. They have all 3 colors (ivory, black, fire) but most folks seem to like the ivory: https://cuecomponents.com/collections/pool-cue-tips/products/ivory-ultraskin-layered-cue-tips

    Favorite tips so far.

    I've used either a Zan Hybrid Max when I can find them or a Taom Fusion mostly on Revos the last couple years. I recently got an Ultraskin Fire medium and a Caiden Fighter medium installed on some backup shafts and will try them out soon. Next on the list is a Caiden Warrior whenever I have a...

    Changing the balance of an older Predator 5k4 cue

    I agree with garczar, but if you like the cue and if moving the weight bolt back changed the balance point to your liking, you can use something like purple Loctite to keep it from rattling. You could also try an extension to see if that helps. I'd definitely get it from Seybert's or PoolDawg...

    Perhaps You May Be Able To Recommend or Possibly Help Me?

    Since you like the one you have, perhaps you could order the shafts from Superior without being cut for the pin and have a local cue maker tap it for you to your specs. Otherwise: Jim Pierce builds a good KW shaft, and the Diveney Trans K is good as well. Perhaps one of them can build one out...
