With some of these shafts that fill in the empty space with foam to dampen vibration it got me thinking whether it would make any difference to fill in the space with some kind of filler. I never plan on using weight bolts, but I guess it would prevent you from using some kinds of extensions too, right?

I've been doing this with my cues for over 35 years!
I use torn cotton balls.
Makes for a more solid hitting feel.

Good idea. I'll try it.
For the posters above nylon and aluminum sound like good ideas too but the problem would be finding the exact length and size I need. I also couldn't find out if there was space after the end of the threading.
Lead Birdshot in the weight bolt cavity. You can fine tune the weight of the cue butt.
Creative idea, Mr3.
I'd be concerned about changing the weight balance with those materials.
Does it do anything for the sound of the hit? (Is anything needed for that?)
