I use mid-cue extensions. I dropped my cue and warped the pin on my ebony extension that I use on my predator butt and Revo shaft.
I called Hightower cues and he said he had an extension on hand but it was made of delrin and that I could try it and return it if I was not satisfied.
Well, I got it yesterday morning. It was boxed in a way that it was very, very safe no matter what was shipped. I can only imagine what steps they would take to protect something much more delicate and valuable. A big plus IMO.
The extension:
I paired it with my predator roadline5 and revo (radial). It screwed together just tight enough but not so tight I had to wrench it. It rolled perfect with zero tip-lift, I mean perfect. As for the craftsmanship, Cueman's work is top notch. Not my opinion, fact.
Material:
Delrin with g10 pin. Me being use to stiffer extensions made of ebony paired with the stiff revo I am use to very stiff hits. After hitting only a few balls I could easily tell the delrin extension was not going to be good for me. Someone that likes a soft hit would LOVE delrin. Again, it is the material NOT the quality of Cueman's work. Again, top notch.
Cueman himself:
He sent me a PM asking if all was good the day it came. That is good service after the sale, especially with lower cost items. Great customer service that really stands behind what they make and sell.
I told him my opinion and he immediately told me he would refund.
I would highly recommend Cueman (Chris Hightower) for anything billiards from cheaper extensions to super high end cues to, as most all know, machinery to do cue work on.
I know he did not "need" me to say anything as his work and ethics speaks for itself but I really like doing business with honest people that are also very skilled. Both are hard to find, especially at the same time.
