This is what I'm talking about, I mean the only thing this is there is to guide the cue in but we dont need it, I dont even think it has anything to do with the actual pin/joint lockup. why not make this joint just inside the butt itself without this extra tongue coming out whatever you want to call it.
Cue makers what happens if I cut the pin coming out from the uni-loc female on the butt

I'm not a Cue-Maker, but doing something like this doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense to me either.

I lost mine,,,,,,
Agreed.
After sering how sloppy it was. I can't believe they even pursued it. The bullet isn't much better.
Not just the uni loc. Any joint screw can snap. I've been puzzled more than once.
And my answer has always been.
It's not the Cues fault you missed!
