I was just wondering if it's possible to change the type of joint on the shaft. I've been thinking of putting mezz DI pro shaft on BK2 (I like the sport grip so much).

Thanks.
 
Yes, it's possible.

I looked into doing this for one of my shafts. Going from 3/8x10 to Uniloc. The cue guy told me he would need the butt end as well to match things up correctly. He would put a dowel & exopy into the 3/8 hole, and once it cured, he would put in the Uniloc insert.

I ended up backing off, it sounded like the exopy might affect the feel of the shaft, and then I would be stuck (no pun intended).

Pose this question in the "Ask The Cuemaker" section as well, you will likely see a more in depth explanation.

Good luck...

Will do, thanks
 
I just had Ryan (Rat Cues) at Muellers do one for me, uniloc to3/8x10. It was a 1st generation Predator and turned out great.

I've been thinking about doing the same and also backed off because I was worried about the hit changing. I've been assured it won't but nagging doubts remain...

Ever get halfway through a table and say, "Hey... I'll shoot this here instead", and totally screw up the run ? Kicking yourself on the way to the chair, mumbling, "I should've gone with my first choice" ?
Something in the back of your head tells you to stay with the original plan. But you change your mind anyway, make the other shot, blow position, get stuck a shot later with an off-angle kick or bank, and end up blowing that game.

Once you have all the pertinent information, then it's all about intuition...

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...
