Hi guys. Looking for a mid cue extension that will fit older Schon cues. Why is there such hesitancy among everyone I've contacted about this?? Is there something about the undersized 5/16-14 idk about?? Maybe a curse, or something?? 😂😂
If anyone cares to make one for me, I'd sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
 
I’ll take one too! I have bought and ruined two Balance Rite mid extensions. My Schon is an early one from 1981. S series. The modern extensions can be forced into the shaft but eventually the pin will unscrew from the extension, ruining it. Something about the major and minor threads, I think. Would love to have one using original pins and receivers, but I think those pins Schon used are long gone. I know your trouble.

I'm telling ya!!
I literally begged Romine. Still said no. Arrgh.
Maybe I'll get lucky and one of the cuemakers on here will give it a shot. I've got posts in 3 diff places, so... We shall see. If one does, I'll give you a shout.
 
Building a mid cue extension is similar to building JPs. A lot of tedious work for little profit. Any cue maker can build one, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Most balance right are crap. Out of 3 I've bought for other thread sizes, 2 rolled crooked.
 
I still have this, kinda long, maybe double as a jump handle.Made by Joe Sanko. Bought at SBE.Was using on my Schons when I had them
