I know people were paying quite a bit for Hagar slip on extensions when they went out of business. I had one and while I appreciated how well they were made and the net material wouldn't hurt the cue finish, I never liked how BIG they felt in my hand. I sold mine for a lot more than I paid then bought a Tony Ryan that I thought felt great in the hand and worked really well but the end that received the cue butt was big enough to slip over and so that became a problem how to carry in a case.
Some guys who apparantly didn't care that much about their cue finish would actually use cut pieces of hard vacuum cleaner pipes to slip onto their cues as a makeshift extension.
I'm noticing a lot more screw on extensions nowadays that in many cases look like a true extension of the cues butt, both in size and sometimes even wood type and finish. This is probably a good development in our equipment.
Anybody still using the old slip-ons?
