Wanted a radial joint butt.
Trapped this "Banly" in the wilds of the Amazon. (Arrived 20oz, including the preinstalled 2oz weight bolt)
Expected the shaft to disappoint....but after 4 hours of play, to my surprise deflection is super low, damn near equal to my 11.8 revo. $220, Amazin!!

This might be an option seeing how you did yours. Getting PVC or other material tubing that I can tap the threads into without having a lathe could work. Just need to work the OD to fit in the butt end which wouldn't be too hard. Have to checkout that Crical extension with adapters which might fit some of my other cues.SPJLW
Added an extension for the extra length.
Using a shim, eliminating the need to modifify (thread) the butt.
Extension is 2 inches. 2.1 ounces. Cue 20oz total.
I remove it for 1 pocket.
The extra adapters that can be used for other cues is a bonus.

Thanks, this is worth pursuing further.
You are experiencing the best thing about a CF shaft compared to most wood shafts, and that is the energy from YOUR stroke transferred more efficiently, there are some wood shafts that do a great job but CF shafts do it more reliably, Becue shafts are designed specifically to transfer energy more efficiently, add their full CF butt and you will see even more, CF is used in cycling, golf clubs, tennis racquets and many other uses.
Trying a pair of neodymiums for a chalk holder. One attached to the chalk, the other in my pocket.

Even 30 years ago if you were at the blue oyster...Saying this in a bar 10 years ago would probably get you a bloody nose. Today probably dinner and a movie!

The Predator Vantage should be my last purchase. (Riiiight!! 
)
Predator Vantage - Radial
Used. Perfect condition. $100.
Predator Revo 11.8 Uniloc
Banly 12.5 - Radial
JFlowers BRKR - Radial
Slapped on an Ultraskin and love it. Thickness and deflection.
Yet....My main player has become the 'Manly Banly'. The shaft just works! Shooting hard with strong english or soft, almost exactly the same play as my Revo. I bought the chiner Banly on a whim and feel like I got lucky with the shaft performance.
Vantage. I do still despise having to be careful with the wood...not raking balls etc. Shaft dings and imperfections are unacceptable, for me. Which is why it stays in the bag more than out. Great for 1pkt.
Visited Griffs when in Vegas. After 2 hrs of practice, my ungloved hand was absolutely caked with chalk. Great place! But I do realize I'm spoiled with Oscar's table maintenance at Hard Times. Tables vacuumed, balls polished constantly. Spring 2027, more Diamond tables to be installed at HT, replacing existing GC's.
