Extension on Scorpion SCO21

[JoeDaddy831]

Anybody know if there's a way to put an extension on a Scorpion SCO21?? It has a only a small screw holding the butt bumper so it doesn't have threads for an extension to fit in. It's a simple screw. I tried adding pics but it says the file is too big. On PoolDawgs it's this cue https://www.pooldawg.com/scorpion-sco21-pool-cue

First time I saw that cue, Johnny was using it. Also first time I saw Johnny in person. Looked like a $20,000 ivory masterpiece lol. Does it have to be a plugin extension? IMO extensions only have to be stable pushing the cue so there needn't be a whole lot of engineering involved. Ask some cuemakers.

That cue needs a female insert in the butt and faced off to take an extension.

I’m not a cue maker but I’m sure enough about this to make a post.

If I’m wrong I’ll near something.

This is with the screw of the bumper off. See how simple it looks inside, won't take anything threaded unless theres somekind of extension with a smaller screw like the 1 pictured. Idk

IMO this is all you need for reach.

No mod apply like your hands. Build in the correct leverage, add some sexy, done.

Pretty much...I do want it to remain on the cue. I hold it far back on the grip already but can't find 1 that is flush and will actually screw in. All i got is the female 1 u say from Amazon that tightens around the butt. It just doesn't feel connected to the cue. You can feel a slight movement from where u hold it to the end by the tip. Slight dip. Anyways, thanks for your input.

Pretty simple to modify the bottom of the Cue for an extension!!

No offense but these are pretty lo-end chinese imports. I'd get a cue that was set-up for an extension as built. You could easily spend more than what this whole cue is worth on a bumper/extension.

True..they are cheaply made

That was my thought. If you’re going to go to the trouble to CORRECTLY set up a cue for a proper screw on extension at least use a cue that merits that type of work. Not a decal cue.

Eexactly, I was trying to go the cheaper route, but none of it had a solution. Currently in talks with Mcdermott for a custom cue, my forever cue. So yup I tried

I understand , I’ve had a few “forever” cues. I do have one Southwest I bought in 87 still.

I respect the try, you are on the right track.
