Gambling and booze!! This is what happens when you mix them. Miss a shot, stand up and swing cue like a sword only to hit the bar stool. Then ask who put it there!! Anyway a big thanks to Ryan (rat cues) and Thomas Wayne for posting and their comments on fixing broken cues. This is basically what I did cut the handle off, removed A joint screw. Then gun drilled up to just before the pin for shaft. made the core and inserted with epoxy and glued all back together. Reinstalled the handle and refinished the cue. I also put a new pin and wrap. The first 2 pics are where it is broken look close goes all the way up the inner and outer points, splitting the wood. the other pics are when fixed you can see some epoxy around the inlay where some wood was splintered and then the other is the side that went together nice. Cue plays nice and I am happy at how it came out.

Some people cannot appreciate their equipment and it happens in all kind of sports.
Good thing there are people like you who can fix things like that
