Hi. Does anyone know which billiard store would have a ferrule for McDermott I-3 shaft (that super small one)? My friend plays with that rather nice shaft, but unfortunately his ferrule developed a small crack it seems.

Oh, I also did the same thing to my Z. A well known store wants 50$ for a Z shaft ferrule. Fair price?
 
A store is going to sell you a ferrule...or install it? I doubt many retail stores sell loose ferrules. Besides, they will need to be turned down on a lathe, to fit the shaft diameter.
Take the cues to a professional cue repair man. It should cost $30 plus tip.
 
According to their website there's a lifetime warranty on the ICE shafts. You may want to suggest your friend sends it back to McDermott or finds out if they have authorized local repair shops they can take it to for a warranty ferrule replacement, as using anything other than their original ferrule may change the playing characteristics. (This is the case for Predator shafts)
 
Thanks for replies guys.

Me and my two clubmates will order some pool stuff from Seyberts.

I actually ordered this new Z square or whatever it is called shaft + extra ferrule for my old shaft. I have someone who will put the ferrule on for me. This will be an adventure, no doubt...:)

What complicates things is the fact that I am from a far away country in Europe called Croatia, so it is very impractical for me to send just a sole shaft overseas. The shipment in both directions would cost nearly the shaft itself...but I'm afraid that my frient with I-3 shaft will have no other option...another adventure for him...:)

European stores? I won't even look at them any more. Their prices are terrible. Besides, US dollar is now a whopping 25% weaker than Euro currency, so that's another plus.
