Threads won't stay tight.

First, your question is in the wrong section, ask it again In Ask The Cue Maker froum.
You need to take a picture of the joint of you cue and show us the threads. In most cases they can be replaced.
Answer: Buy a decent cue.
I guess you think this is a real smart answer when you say "Buy a decent Cue" when I'm asking for help. I would imagine this Cue is better than your Titanium one but you may like yours because it's slippery. You probably don't know this but when you buy a good Cue it's fitted up squarely and perfectly...but it's not taken out and hit a bunch of times wherein a looseness could be found.
But thanks for your time and answer. It just doesn't really help me.

You seem to be under the impression that my answer was intended to be smug. It wasn't. It was concise and accurate. If you have a cue with a joint that loosens up after hitting a few balls, then you need a better cue.
If you're a beginner or intermediate player that wants to spend less than a couple hundred bucks on a cue, then I suggest a nice Lucasi cue. They can be had for less than $200 and if you buy used, maybe even under a hundred.
I'm 74 years old and been playing a long time. I can still beat most of the Players in 8-9 ball and I'll give you the side in Golf sight unseen. I'll play you even in 1-pocket even though I'm still learning that damn game.
I have 17 Cues and only 3 that I paid less than $200 bucks for. The most I've paid is $5800. The one I'm talking about is the best hitting Cue I have, at this time, and I paid $700 for it BUT the threads won't stay tight!
I have found over the years that different sticks fit me better at different ages and the ones that hit the best at any given time is the best cue...damn the expense factor.
If you need to buy an inexpensive Cue and think it's great then go ahead and do so, I won't say anything bad, in fact I'll compliment you on your choice and hope it raises your game but I won't recommend a Cue to someone that I know nothing about
Good luck to you and play well, lets just drop this subject. It's the game not the idle chatter, that we enjoy.

I certainly didn't mean any disrespect.
My incorrect assumption that you were a novice was based on the fact that you asked a vague question about a problem with your joint, but never gave the name of the cue maker, the type of joint, or any other information that might have prompted someone to give you a helpful answer.
Regardless of your age, experience, how many cues you own, etc, the fact remains that if the cue in question is loose in the joint after a few shots then one of two things is true - its either firewood, or it needs to be serviced by a proficient cuemaker.
By the way, look me up if you come through KC and want to offer up those spots...
