Maybe the ferrule has a high spot.
 
does the tip come off the table?how much light do oyu see under the part wobbling?
 
yes the tip come off the table about like .5 of a mm or so when is on butt.
come off less when is off the butt...not much light under the wobbling.
 
yea..i did ..i spoke to him..and he said he will replace it for me..but again..soemtimes something like this happen i would wanna find out wat might cosh the problem..so i can know more stuff about it =)
 
I could be a couple different factors. Once the builder gets the shaft ask him where the problem was. A good cue builder will tell you what caused it.
 
I have a wood front shaft cue. The shaft has moved a little bit. I just put a small dot on the high side. So I shoot with the cue in the same rotated position. This made me shoot more consistent .
 
that is why i told you to contact the cuemaker.what i am saying is,i think at one point in time it has happened to most every cuemaker.wood is a natural item and sometimes has a mind of its own.sometimes it just moves.i am sure the cuemaker will give you a new one.
 
yea..but for some reason today..after i shoot with it a few time..worst come worst the tip fell off.i was like wow..i just brought the shaft and the tip came off....so now the thing is..i dont know if i should ask him to change the tip or not...that's scary tips came off.

so wat should i do in this case? ask him to change the tip or ship back to predator and ask them to change it.
 
i am not sure if predator warranty is good for warpage.i think i heard it covers breakage but not warpage.i would just send it back to the guy and let him deal with it for you.the tip is a minor problem compared to the warpage.
 
yea...but i dont know if i still trust him to let him do my tip..i dont wanna playing in the tourament or anything and out of no where my tip fell off..

Wow your worried about the tip popping off !!!! Even the most acomplished cue builder, repairman and even master cue builder's have had a tip pop off. You have to realize that its only super glue that holds the tip on and sometimes it fales. Worst case senerio is he will put on a new tip for free..

Tell him to use Gorilla glue.
