Should I or shouldn't I.......

Hi,

I've been thinking of getting a SD joint put in my cue to fit a mini butt and extensions on it, but I'm afraid it'll change how it feels!!

There's been a couple of times I've been on 50 odd breaks and its broke down because I've needed to get the long tackle out to play the shot and missed cause you just can't get the same feel with it, not like when using your own cue as we know.......

I was wondering if anybody has had this done and did the cue feel the same afterwards??

Cheers.

it dont add that much weight so dont worry

[nostawmail]

im sure a good cue maker could manage to keep the weight the same or very very close

if something like that can affect your game then your probably thinking to much about whats in your hand rather than how to use it correctly

Just work harder on getting positional play right in your breakbuilding

Very true......

Thanks for all your help, the decision has made and I'm going to get it done!!

Any recommendations on were to get it done??

I don't live that far far John Parris, but I've got a feeling he might be a bit expensive!!

Nice one Jim......!!

Andy justt did a cue for me and his service is unreal was super helpful

Try a slip on extension, Ronnie doesn't have a problem using one even though he has an SD joint in his cue.

Very true, and I have tried them and they are very good.

One slight problem is that you have to carry them it separately. Which for me can sometimes be a little bit of a pain cause I use the train and underground to get my local club (Its a lot quicker than driving cause of the traffic and parking).
