Please identify pin - thanks

Planning to buy a shaft for this cue, sadly I do not recall the pin config as this was purchased over 10 years ago.

Guessing it is 5x16 x 14 or 18

Brand of cue? Also a picture of the pin with a ruler along side would help. I counted only 10 threads.....

Sadly I don't recall who made it, got a bunch of cues 15 years ago and this one was just discovered when I went spring cleaning and this one does not have a shaft. Ruler unit of measure is in inches

I'm not a cue maker, but I count 7 threads in 1/2 an inch, 7x2=14, so its a 5/16-14. Cheers

Got to the same conclusion, As I am ordering a shaft which would travel from the US to Asia, it pays to be sure...

Definitely 5/16-14

I'm guessing it's a Mali from the 70's the steel joint tells the history, So i'm going with a 5/16-18 However if you are buying a shaft online, take it to a repair man and have him size it before you buy

Are there threads below the steel joint collar I'm sure there are because those threads are too narrow to be only the threads showing on your tape

Show us the whole cue

I think the mystery was solved; he showed a closeup of the pin with a ruler. They call them “threads per inch” for a reason

Go to a hardware store and buy common thread size nuts, I did it years ago.
