cue alterations

[jack_dougles]

a bit of a numpty question for you, usually if a cue is to be shortened then assume this is always done at tip end and a new ferrule fitted, and if weight reduction is wanted, normal practice is to drill out at but end and refill with a lighter wood if cue naturally weighted or remove weights if these are fitted, now if you wanted to both shorten and reduce weight in a cue what harm would there be if you shortened cue at but end as the main weight would be here, if this was done would there be any danger of damageing cue, ie the splices or would this bit an option. as I say bit of a numpty question but thought I would ask

First off what cue is it an old one or a new one,second you don't say if one pièce or a split cue.

One novice to another, It would depend on where you wanted the balance point to be.
I would think that if you wanted the length shorter AND the weight reduced, but wanted
the balance point to remain the same, you would need to do more fiddling with the weight inside.

Oh, and you'd probably only have half a badge left.

3/4 split jointed at 16 inches, reasonably newish

would get flat thinned aswell as only use 28 mil but diameter so imagine badge being removed not an issue

If you shorten the butt end the butt will be thinner, so may not suit you after.
