I have two shafts that I really like playing with, but one of the shafts has the threads cut a hair to one side of the shaft i.e. when I screw this shaft on to the butt all the way on there is a high side and low side where the shaft meets the butt. I want to keep both of these shafts and get them properly matched up to a new butt for it to be a totally new cue except for the fact thta the shafts have been played with. The problem is they are players hxt 12.75 shafts without collars, and I don't think these can be sourced anywhere.
Do modern adhesives and tolerances allow for plugging and retapping a shaft that already has threads in it that can withstand the forces of regular use? Or am I missing some other strategy here? The butt was made at Schmelke and they matched the first shaft, and then later on matched the second ill fitting shaft. Whatever process they use doesn't allow for second shafts to match perfectly.
