I'm gonna try this, has Anyone else? My 89 Kikel shafts, that I used during my play days is worn way too thin. It was a 13 mm, but after too much play the shafts are WAY smaller and whippie.
So I tried this, I had (Ernie Martinez) cut one of the two shafts.... 2'' shorter and reinstalled the ivory ferrule, it works good for bar tables (56'' cue) but it's still too thin.
Kikel also made me a 5'' extension. So....
I'm now going to cut that same shaft again and make it 24'' in length. Then I will attach the 5'' extension to the cue and the shaft, making the cue 58'' again.
It will then have allot more forward weight (the cue will probably be heavier than it's original weight) it will be very interesting to see how it ''feels'' and plays since it's balance point will change.
Your thoughts....I'm hoping it will be stiff, like a carbon shaft.
