I have a bunch of 5/16x14 aftermarket shafts, Predator 314-2, Predator Revo, Rhino, OB InFuze. they all fit on all of the 5/16x14 cues that I’ve tried them on, including Schon, Josss, Jacoby, McDaniel and Tim Scruggs.Are all Schön Joint Screws the Same?
No — not all Schön joint screws are identical, and they are not the same as Joss screws, though some older models share similar dimensions.
Key differences between brands
- Schön vs. Joss: Joss shafts use a 5/16" x 14 joint screw (thread size) with a smaller pilot (≈0.460–0.480")
AzBilliards Forums.
- Schön shafts historically used a larger pilot (≈0.530") and a joint screw around 0.308" x 14 in later models

Does the “hit” more important than consistency and accuracy?Trying the Centro today. It’s on the left cue. It’s not bad….but there is nothing like that Joss hit, and the shaft on the Joss was especially tapered for me by Stephen Janes.
Thanks, I'll check it out.PM sent.

I have both a Rhino and a Revo that fit a Schon, I don't get the issue here... any 5/16x14 shaft will do, piloted or flat faced.
The pilot on non Schon shaft is smaller than the Schon and will fit with no issue.
The Rhino had to be tapped in order to fit, I did it myself easily.

Discussed earlier here and while @Bob Jewett says no....I say you can always take half of something, right?Does the pendulum on a clock pause?
