Couldn't you just drill the hole deeper in to the ball? As if you chop the pole down you might have a problem when you come to put a standard one back on if you change your mind in the future

shouldnt do but maybe better to drill the gear knob? and tap the hole a bit deeper.... so if you ever want to get rid of that knob and change it.. you can without issues

That 'pole' is the gear lever or stick.

Have a look around at other members car pictures who have 8 ball gear knobs and ask them where they got there's from if they fit better than yours, for the sake of £5-10 it will save you hacking things to bits and future trouble putting other ones on
