Got it
It's amazing how much you NON CUEMAKERS with phone names bug me.
Wish that would change

Old 3/8x10 joint screws have a minor of .281
The tap I had made will tap a hole of .281 without tearing the threads.
So I call it a .281x10 tap
Simple eneogh for ya

That clears it up the tap is not really .281 x 10 just what you named it

Crazy Jack...howd he get that name?

I thought... I was able to keep turning it, even though it did get super tight, and much harder to turn (as it would normally be, though tighter it felt), but I was able to screw it in all the way. I then did that about 3 times over, going back and forth, and I feel that it should be good now (hopefully). So, maybe the pin was just dirty, or the insert a little bit rusty, but not sure. I do wonder if there is a cleaner for cleaning the threads in the shaft. Thanks for your replies.

You can also screw a g-10 pin of any type into a wood threaded shaft this way.

You don't need the lube, dear.

Learn to hit the ball consistent. And when you think you are consistent try again.

YES. I learned from shooting all over the place, regarding speed and spin, in order to *make* the cue ball go where I wanted, and then later figured out that a lot of the same could be done with less overall effort.

Now, I try to emphasize to some (less-skilled) players that they should learn to cue with a fairly consistent technique (at the base, power/energy), and then they can learn to power up or down. However, I will also say that I think it's easier for a player that overhits to learn to back off, as opposed to a player that is focused on (absolute) accuracy that has to increase power.

Didnt Shorty/Chad have some bad deals with people here?

I've chatted with him online a few times long long ago. I personally never had any problems with him.

Remember when you got banned and it had something to do with that guy? And you're obviously not banned now. Tell that part too?

That was funny.
