Hi,
I have a sneaky that my good friend Billy Young made me and the butt of the cue needs repair. My question is " Can this cue be repaired and if it can be repaired who would you recommend to do the repair? " Billy has went to work for a software company and no longer makes cues. Any advice will be welcomed and I thank each of you very much! Also posting pics of the cue.
Greatest hitting cue I have ever owned and I have owned some very nice cues! Thanks again!!

Easy fix. Proficient billiards.

Tough to beat Scott Sherbine at Proficient Billiards. Turnaround time is typically short and his repair/refinish work is top-notch. There are a number of others here on the forum that are very good as well, like Ryan Theewen mentioned above.
 
This is a very simple fix. All you need to do is chuck it up in a lathe and smooth the edge over to a radius. You can do this with sand paper and a drill motor. No need to cut anything off or replace anything. Just ease the edge into a radius. I did the same thing with my Cognoscenti. No big deal.

I second the suggestion of Ryan. He works for Muellers and does fine work.

I would also consider contacting Mike Webb.

The list is endless...

I agree with both of Jay's choices, but I would also recommend Rick Phillippi.
 
Save yourself a few bucks and leave it alone.
Just tell anyone who asks that those dents occurred late one night when you were playing some roadie One Pocket for a grand a game. Tell them the guy tried to stiff you for the cash and when you confronted him about it, he pulled a knife. That was when you took out his front teeth with the butt of your cue. You'll be the envy of all your friends. :smile:

A perfectly logical solution to the problem . . .
 
I agree with you Hung as I have also done this. The chip looks a bit too large to put a radius on it.

It looks to be a dark mahogany phenolic. Altho just about any repairman can do this for you, Ryan is the King of restores and repairs in my book anyway.

His prices are very reasonable and his turn around time is quick.
