    Unilock quick release question

    I have a friend who has a Universal Smartshaft cue with a Unilock quick release joint. While he is playing the Unilock joint will loosen up on its own. Any suggestions on keeping it screwed together tight. The insert and pin all look fine. By the way it is Lunchmeat's cue of TAR fame. Thanks
