I am not sure if this is a 3/8x10, or a 3/8x11, or some type of a Modified joint pin.

Can you guys tell from this pic?

Thanks a lot for any thoughts.

Ok… the bottom of your measuring tape doesn’t start at a full thread. And anytime I use this kind of measuring tape, I use the 1” as my zero datum and go to the 2”.

It looks very much like 10 TPI. I am starting at the peak of the thread that sits just above the 1” mark and counting downwards to the joint. The last thread peak lands just above the zero datum. I count 10 thread peaks for that one inch span.

Get yourself a cheap set of calipers. You have too much interest in cues not to be able to do this.

Great interview. Svb talking about the how the ass beating he took against fedor in that race to 50 making him self analyze and get back to putting the work in. The goats always never get tired of winning no matter how much success they have. It’s never enough.

The UK broadcast style is less talk. If you watch snooker (or golf or tennis with UK commentary) they let the game breath. I like it. I don’t think we need to hear blow by blow on open cosmo racks. That probably influenced Karl and I like it.

Scott is way better when he’s NOT on a main Matchroom broadcast, IMO. Like the one from Classic Billiards - he’s much more natural. On the MR broadcasts he tries too hard to be a “broadcaster” like Phil Yates.

JJ is great to me.

By the way, I actually like some of Predator announcers. Erik Hjorleifson and Ben Francis are both very good IMO.

i like hjorleifson too. ben francis, if that is who i think it is, doesn't have the voice for commentary..

I would agree with Lou here, having first used a cue with a rear extension in a tough spot - I desired that option on any cue that I owned.

I have fitted some less expensive cues for extensions myself using epoxy for the rear extension bumper. I have bought a few of my cues that had already been fitted for an extension. I sent one higher end cue to Bob Dzuricky(his cue) and he fitted the cue for me at a reasonable fee.

I highly recommend full CF material for an extension as it is so light on the cue that cue balance is unaffected.

I won’t touch my high end RB cue for an extension- want to keep it more original. So, since I use only hard leather tips on my break cue - I fitted that break cue butt for an extension to use it when my playing cue of choice does not have an extension.

I have found that the rear extension should be 10 to 14 inches in order to reach most shots on a 58 inch cue. The 8 inch extensions have more limited value IMO.

it was obvious, BUT what's obvious is a matter of interpretation and therefore also something that deluna may use against you. laz should have known that.

i don't like deluna, but it takes balls to do stuff like that in hostile territory. he did the same thing in the dominican crew's home turf. he doesn't care.
