Predator BK (original break cue) question

During Hurricane Katrina my Predator shaft got soaked in water and mud so I chunked it. I salvaged the butt and it looks a little rough but I think it is still usable.

I was wondering if any of you knew if the new BK2 break shaft will fit on the old butt.

I'm not trying to be cheap but I have been experimenting with a number of cues in recent times and not really looking to add to my timber.

And at the same time, are there any used BK2's in good shape, for sale?

Please PM me as I seldom visit this forum but will try to come back and visit. Smorgass Bored chastises me all of the time for visiting and not coming back to my threads and posts. :)

Thanks,

i believe the bk1 has a uni-loc joint, in which case the bk2 shaft will fit on there perfectly

it will fit..however, there will be a slight differnt on the shaft and the joint of the butt..the BK1 has bigger joint than the shaft joint of the BK2..hope that help :)

I currently use a BK2 butt with a BK1 shaft. I just ran downstairs to check the joint and they match up perfectly, leading me to believe that your BK1 butt will match up with a BK2 shaft.

WHEW! I was beginning to wonder. I checked my old BK1 butt and the wrap is a little messed up but I don't think it will hurt the breaking. I bought one of the first BK1 out there direct from Predator many moons ago, I think from Shane Sinnot (sp?) just before the dealers started getting them in stock.

I'm going to the U.S. Open and maybe I'll pick up a BK2 cue or shaft there or at Master Q's.

Thanks for all of the great replies.

Glad to help. Have a great time at the U.S. Open! I'm so jealous I can't make it.
