mushroomed ferrule?

and this one is to put smaller tip on it !!! Look on internet for ( old Melamine ferrule ).
You can find enough info about that !!

Exaggerated drawing but imagine putting extreme bottom of on could snap the shaft.

All I do with that for smaller tip is slightly taper ferrule say from 9.5mm-9mm

i suppose it would look like this, and if so the coned end is outside of the taper so on contact with the white i see it as resonating outside of the cue. this would feel strange and very different to using a mushroom tip because the edge of the tip is over the edge of the ferrule and therefore that vibe evaporates on impact

To be honest, I also have my doubts about the playability of this kind of FRL. But you never know !! I think the chance that FRL remains tight on the cue is not that big !!!

Seen plenty of ferrules end up like that Ramon with a unintentional reduction in size

Much better way, imo,,, as I said ,, is incredibly difficult to glue the FRL in this form.

it will never catch on and i recommend an energy rethink

Like a upsidedown pyramid, lol

Great sketch J , exactly how I imagined it . Really no point in making it .

I've seen it done that way Jim on a few cues, and you can hardly notice the taper. Which is why i thought it may work in reverse. Perhaps trying for a full mm is a bit extreme, but if it's possible to increase by .5mm without altering the playability of the cue, then I think it could be a cheap viable way of rescuing a few cues off ebay that have been butchered by pool players!

Just mushroom the tip same as Steve Davis used for years.

[jim evans]

or cut off to a decent tip size and resplice longer,lol

Easy for a man of your talents Jim, but it's taken me 10 years to work out how to fit a new ferrule! Lol
