Predator tip silencer pad replacement - voids warranty?

I strongly recommend that all y'all LD guys start playing with regular solid maple shafts.
OK?????? lol...... Gosh dang it.......
NONE of the LD problems go on with the solids. NONE!

Besides you have to compensate anyway so what does it matter?

OK, rant over. (and that was a short one, I'm holding back) :):):)

I'm glad you've come around a bit. At first, you said the fiber pad "ruined" the hit, rather than "changes" the hit.

No worries, and I agree with you. The fiber pad does change the hit, makes it a bit more compliant, if it's done right. And the choice of glue has an effect as well, the super glues and epoxies produce a harder, crisper hit, and Tweetens is a bit more flexible, softens the hit a little. Carpenters wood glue is a bit inbetween, but you have to have the right materials, large wood tenon, fiber ferrule, or other than will accept it.

I don't think you're a bad guy, but I think you jumped the gun by saying my advice could "ruin" something, when the OP was asking for help. My experience in putting tips on cues with and without pads, goes back to 1970. That's 43 years; every combination you can think of.

Respect my advice, and I'll be glad to respect yours. Please think carefully before you use the word "ruin" if I've given advice. Those who do will get a debate.

All the best,

I actually think pretty carefully about most of the words I use.

That's why when you very first asked me why I said "ruined the hit" I explained:

"Ruining the hit? Yeah. a fiber pad feels different than no fiber pad. If you liked it without the fiber pad, and don't like it with the fiber pad (like me), then I would call that ruining the hit. "

Not sure if you read that the first go around.

I don't see that I really improved on this. Right from the get go I was not telling you your method was bad, just that it wouldn't be a good solution for someone like me. Sorry if that offended you somehow.

I don't understand why the LD crowd won't go to Tiger.
They make amazing shafts, have much better warranty, and stand behind their product.
At least with them there is a little bit of a feel left in the cue once you put one on.

I've actually got a listing in the wanted section to trade a McDermott with an i2 shaft for a Mezz or Tiger so I can try one...


Thanks for weighing in everyone - appreciate it
