Tyler Styer's extension

[7stud]

Does anyone know what brand of extension Tyler used at the UK Open? It's one of those extensions that fits over the butt, then you screw down a couple of rings. Do they mark up the butt of a cue?

Why doesn't he use one of Meucci's screw in extensions?

Thanks

Leverage handles could become cheap table side acoutrement as common as the bridge.

Saw that and was wondering the same thing.
It looked like one of those cheap ones you can get on amazon.

I saw him demolish Filler and give Yapp fits, but I didn't notice the extension. Do you have a pic or link?

It looked something like this

Amazon.com

looks almost identical too mine. it takes longer to put on than the fast screw on ones, and it's too long to store in cargo pants comfortably, but i can't fault it performance wise

I use that line all the time, too

Those have been around forever.........

Nobody's yet complained that they shouldn't be allowed, it was better in the old days with the bridge, etc

KO brothers use similar, the ones they use are handmade and sold by ORG billiards.

Somehow I've slept on these, wtf. I had a screw in extension, always too much work. I ordered one off Amazon for $20. What a revelation. Goes on or off in two seconds and it works on any cue you have. Like one of those informercials, "You'll throw your bridge away!".
It's like when some genius came up with the idea of putting wheels on the bottom of your suitcase.

Yes, at 15-25 bucks a piece, these should be basic hall equipment.

You can buy the one many Taiwanese players use at ORG billiards. Perhaps this is the same as Styer uses. some of these butt threads (like Mezz M6) take too long to screw in. It's a KUO extension they are using. Think these ones are handmade and better quality than all the similar I can find on Taobao, Amazon etc.

DIY guys should have a design and prototype ready to go in an afternoon. One piece of carved wood would do.

Only if it's Kielwood.
