Yes, there’s money to it. But I wouldn’t disagree that there’s a fair amount of political motivation. Whether it’s players from a certain area favoring one game over another, “switching teams” or pushing this version to become the “front cover” of the billiards world in general.

I could spin about this for ages, but I’m walking home, heavy hearted, having sold a gorgeous cue haha

Help identify joint pin?

I had to order a cheap Thread Pitch Gauge, to measure the threads, and I learned today that this is a 10 Thread (per inch) joint pin. So, I assume it is 3/8x10.

I assumed that it would probably be 3/8x11, lol, because I have never seen a Brass plated 3/8x10 joint pin..

Anyways, it still does not look like a 3/8x10, so maybe a Modified 3/8x10?

All I know is that it is 10 Thread turns per inch though, as I previously thought, based on a measurement.

Anyways, I really need a shaft for the cue, so just wanted to be sure.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Someone posted about that foldable metal V rack they use at Ultimate Pool. It’s definitely portable - and to my surprise the poster above says it works well.

they use that for ultimate pool?? is it “the v-rack” or just something similar?

when broken down it fits in the big pocket of my case. i keep it in the back pouch of the drivers seat in my car, though. its secondary function is a terrifying weapon.

Think it's more politicized than simply a paycheck. But, yeah, there's a lot of pool to watch at the moment. Can't complain about that.
