    What does the term flat faced pin mean?

    I'm the OP and I think I got it now. So a flat-faced joint is one that the joint around the pin is flush with no place for the piece on the shaft to fit into. I believe if the shaft has a metal insert in the threads, it is referred to as piloted. My Players cue has a 5/16 x 18 flat faced joint...

    What does the term flat faced pin mean?

    I've heard the term many times but don't know what it means. I think I've heard someone say a 3/8 x 10 flat faced pin. Can someone explain it to me. Thanks.

    help me pick a break cue

    Predator markets the BK2 as rear-weighted and Prechaur markets theirs as forward weighted. I wonder if it really matters. Has anyone experimented with effects of balance point on break speed?

    Starter Cue?

    For my first playing cue, I bought a Players sneaky pete and put a Kamui Black Soft Tip on it. It was a pretty great cue for $75 but I'll be honest...I only played with it for a few months. The shaft was smooth and straight but the taper or thickness didn't feel good to me. It felt too thick to...

    need some help with my break

    I've been working on my break lately and have it where I'm hitting it pretty solid and I'm pocketing balls but my cue ball is all over the place.

    Tip Shaper

    I've tried the 6-in-1 tool, the willard, and the last-4-ever tool. The Last-4-ever tool is the best by far. It is a great tool.

    why are most custom cues not steel jointed?

    I may be way off on this one, but it seems like the majority of custom cues showing up on this forum don't have a stainless steel joint...they usually have something white in color. I really like the firm hit of a stainless steel joint and am curious why it seems like this is not a common joint...

    need tip hardness recommendation

    I play with a 314-2 with a Tiger Everest laminated tip. I've noticed that I really like the feel of it when it is just about used up and ready to be replaced. It is a firmer feel to me. (Side height just higher than the red indicator line built into the tip.) What would you recommend if I...
