Can i get a pool cue butt by itself?

Question

I am buying a predator Z2 shaft, but the only butt I have that will fit the thread sizes it comes in is my McDermott The Hustler cue, and I feel more comfortable playing with an irish linen or a leather smart grip wrap. Is there anywhere to get cue butts without shafts?

Answer 1

You could look into lower end McDermott's or any cue with a 3/8x10 joint (what McDermott uses and assuming if that shaft fits that is what it is) or look into a different joint on the shaft.  Predator makes pretty much all joint threads.  Sometimes you see butt only auctions on ebay.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Not that I know off

Answer 3

Vegas Matt is right. I suggest posting something on craigslist.net in the "wanted" section or look around on Ebay. I hope that helps.

Answer 4

In general, no. Stores usually will not sell butts only. You may be able to find someone who's selling a cue with a busted shaft on ebay or something, but you won't find anything new unless you have a custom cuemakers build something for you.

I suggest you just buy a complete cue with a Z2 shaft already on it. You'll probably save some money that way.
