Gasp!!!

IMO, If it's really good 2-piece cue, I suggest you buy a new shaft for
it. If you paid less than $50 for it, then I think it's time for an
upgrade. No good cue's were designed to be made shorter anyway (the same
goes for fishing rods that get crushed in the car door).

Like Lew said about computers being a tool--replace it with one that
works and enjoy your game.
