I recently purchased a meucci gambler and extension from budget billiards. When I remove the but cap there are no threads for the extension plug / adapter to screw into. I can see a grey piece but it is way down and the extension bolt doesn't reach it. Am I missing something here?
BB tells me I have to contact meucci but I can;t seem to get through to them.
Hello, this happened to me, the exact same situation last year, let me tell you the story.
P.S. to measureman, oh they do care, they made it right to me.
Ok so, I have three Meucci cues, I bought the extension to use it on one of them, or whichever I decide to use at that time, the extension came in the box, I opened it, it has a plastic bumper with a screw whole so that you can screw in the extension quickly without removing the bumper.
So, I removed the original rubber bumper to insert the plastic bumper for the extension and it didn't want to screw in, so I checked and there weren't threads inside the butt end, the threads were there but they were so deep inside that the bumper couldn't be screwed in.
I tried with the other cues, and they all had threads all the way out, so the extension bumper did screw on the other Meucci cues, but didn't want to screw on that one cue because Meucci did not install the threads all the way until the end of the butt, very simply put.
Anyway I emailed Budget cues, and Bob's daughter Julia responded to me and handled everything professionally, anyway to cut the story short she sent to me the threads that I need to put inside the meucci butt end, with different sizes (In length) so that I make sure that I choose the correct lengthed threads to put in, she sent three threads, all of the same thread ofcourse but just different lengths, I can use glue for it, or go to any billiards professional to install it to me, which I did.
She also sent to me few free rubber bumpers, anyway it wasn't too hard to install it myself, but yea the thing is, when they put the screw on the butt end for the weights, sometimes they don't put it all the out until the butt end, because maybe they didnt anticipate an extension use, I guess somebody in the Meucci Factory should tell them that they should always put the threads all the way until the end of the rubber bumper incase the customer wants an extension.
