unilock butt help

[sack96]

My butt to my predator sneaky was totally ruined. The shaft is still in perfect condition. Any suggestions on where to get a unilock joint replacement butt for this shaft (does not have to be predator)? Also not paying out the nose. thanks in advace for any help

How about finding a used Lucasi cue? They all use the uni-loc joint.

What I would do is buy an inexpensive Lucasi Uni-Loc cue from Neilsen's ( a SUPER eBay seller with 100% positive feedback). Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/LUCASI-LD-LTD2-...2304209QQihZ018QQcategoryZ62129QQcmdZViewItem

If you buy a new Lucasi for aoung $130 shipped, you could sell the new Lucasi shaft for maybe $50-$70 and be out less than $100 overall. BTW, I have played with Predator shafts on Lucasi butts for years with no problems.

Here is a Lucasi Sneaky Pete that should mate right up to your Predator shaft.

Custom cuemakers that immediately come to mind that have used/still use the uniloc include pfd (Paul Drexler), Dale Perry (Mr. 1 of 1), and Dan Dishaw.
The Lucasi would be great if you are looking for something to get back into with low cost. If the butt is ruined and you really liked the Predator, why not just find another one second hand. It might take you a little while to find, but when you get it you would have to shafts for the correct cue.
