I would recommend finding a rubber bumper style that you feel goes well with the aesthetics of the cue and modify that bumper by adding a flat rare earth magnet to it. Permanently secure the rare earth magnet to the bumper using a strong adhesive or a rivet. That is assuming that the butt plate screw is steel. I don't know what Tasc butt plate screws are made of... This would allow you to add and remove the bumper whether you feel like it without modifying the cue.
Thanks for the suggestions thus far guys
Checked with Pete it would be $150 plus shipping for the proper setup
Leaning heavily towards PT's suggestion to leave it bare naked.

hi skins and thx.
it's not but that wouldn't be hard to remedy - i have a set of various sized taps but am now favoring leaving it as is. The phenolic is already chipped a little but very unlikely to ever break so maybe chip away.
Really looks so much nicer without the bumper.
Just have to watch the tapping.

Personally,
I would get the bumper from Pete ….
These bumperless cues seem to be very slippery on carpet and tile floors-
the last one I had sure was"
My point-
you keep it bumperless and your cue slips and falls to the floor- or against a pool table or furniture and cause serious damage-
up to Snapping the forearm-
"I've seen it happen"
just my 2 cents :wink:
BTW-
post pics of the entire cue-
sure looks sharp

I have always got into habit or resting my bumperless cues on my shoe and put them in case assembled when not playing resting shaft on Q-Claw to eliminate possibility of slippage because they are slick.
Love the look and feel of bumperless hoppe cues but with that can come problems if careless.
Have a good day,

Superb Tasc …
thanks for posting,
DEFINITLEY Spend the $$$ for the bumper
ENJOY :smile:
I like it original as a bumperless Hoppe, and wouldn't look right with a rubber bumper
unless it was one of those tiny button-like thing like the one on the Barenbrugge I used to have.
I didn't care for the button either.
Traditional is traditional
On the other hand, a guy came through town to pick up a bumperless Hoppe Paul Mottey cue from me about 10-years ago.
We played for a couple hours and by the time he left back to Texas the cue needed to be refinished.
