Never understood why some cuemakers lengthen in this way, surely it would be less noticeable adding in an ebony dowel on the bottom section of the butt?

very odd - why not just make a longer butt?

Seen it done that way on a few cues, just looks weird and makes the joint look like it's in a strange position. Suppose its easier than adding splices but surely it would be easy to cut the butt and add it in at an appropriate place instead of modding the shaft.

What the hell's going on here? Joe "Davies", and a cue that was "professionally spliced", so it was broken in half presumably and that mass in the middle is a bunch of splices holding it together?

Professional just means paid to do something, lol.

Surprised that hasn't been snapped up, replica or not.
