I bought a Cuelees cue and it has a piloted radial pin and shaft. Anyone see any difference in using a flat faced shaft with it? I cant seem to feel any difference, but wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience?

Anybody marketing adapter washers?

Good idea, but not sure it would be a universal fit. I’m thinking if it needed to be changed it would have to have some work done by a cue smith.
That one for sure.
Lots of people have used a flat faced shaft on a piloted butt and I've never heard of anybody having any problems with it, or anybody who could feel any difference (though I'm sure there are some who are going to claim they can).
You can use flat faced shafts on piloted cue butts and there is no difference in playability concerning that particular shaft as long as it sits tight on the cue butt joint facing.

Agreed! That being said I know there are some cue makers that may have some nerdy technical information about it
For a flat faced butt, you can use a mid cue extension as an adapter
That might save the shaft from "collar ring" - the only issue I see with the mismatch. I have a metal extension that won't help at all. The reverse - piloted shaft to flat, might require more crafting.
