I would contact predator cue as it would seem like a warranty thing...

I'm not the original owner and the cue is a retired one
Off as it came loose or crooked?
Old 5/16 14 pin?
Not an easy fix but fixable.
Expect to fork $50 or more to get the pin replaced.

no, its not loose but when rolling the butt it looks odd and when a shaft is attched it dosn't roll straight

R U sure you are not??
Since you are going to replace it...go ahead and get something better. Like a black G10 glass 3/8 -10 pin. Easy fix and then sleeve the shaft with phenolic & mate it to the new pin/butt.
That leads to another question. Metal pins can be heated to break the epoxy bond, can the same be done with G10? If one should need replacing, how is it removed?Varney Cues said:

That sir, is even more simple. Cut the glass pin off flush, reface surface, then bore & tap for the desired pin...just as you would the wood with no pin.
Doesn't it get hot and crystalize the previous epoxy used so that you would need to re-dowel that hole?Varney Cues said:
Or you can still bore it .3125" and tap it for the 3/8 10 leaving some epoxied G10 in there?
No...it doesn't get that hot. But you can do it either way. I recently doweled my own personal playing cue with a section of soft black abs plastic & then put the pin into that...WOW!!! Talk about a great hit...not sure why...but it hits superb.JoeyInCali said:
