Just a touch Bill ha ha.

Yep that will need sorting so £20 can be knocked of the asking price if you are considering to make an offer.

[DeanH]

ouch, already short at 56", so any alterations to bring ferrule to snooker standard and clean will take it to 55" ish
I would knock more than £20 off the asking price
maybe worth it for the Far East market

What you on about, far east market?

It's a pool cue, it doesn't need to be long. And in any case, no-one needs a 58'' cue, even if they're 6ft tall, if they have a correct BtB.

The gap: fill it with plastic wood. Tape the ferrule and the shaft first. 5min job.

Far East tend to go for 55" cues, hence my comment.
I know it is currently a pool spec due to the poor ferrule job, but it is common that a snooker spec cue (not necessarily 58" but longer than 56" ) makes more pennies, hence my comment.
I did not think this was difficult, I apologies to you if it was.

You could fit a thicker walled ferrule if it didn't bother you?

good thought
not that it would bother me, as I doubt I have every owned a cue a thin walled ferrule :shrug:

[rdsalt]

Don't understand why someone would pay out good money for a Trevor White cue then get a butcher job done on the ferrule. Some good cue makers will taper and fit a ferrule and retip it for £25-£30 it's not much considering the value of the cue.

Either something like this:

Or buy a 300mm length of model makers thich walled brass tube.

Don't see any problem a simple ferrule replacement to the size of the wood no length lost or taper needed.

Won't the tenon be to thin just to fit a bigger ferrule?

[Big Splash!]

If you want to replace the ferrule, then buy a bigger one. Put some plastic wood around the existing tenon and fit the new one while the plastic wood is 1/3 set but still pliable. You could also use plumber's epoxy to so the same job, though plastic wood is closer to the density of wood. Adding a thick-walled ferrule will ruin the cue and make the CB throw a lot, not something TW would have wanted I'm guessing.
