I have a Bill Schick cue that has two of my favorite playing shafts that I would like to use more often. The butt of the cue is a too fancy for league play. The cue has a SS joint with a pin that is nominally 5/16x14. I own four cues with 5/16x14 SS joints and my Schick shafts do not fit any of the other three butts that were not made by Bill; they won’t even start to screw together. Placing the pins next to each other, I am comfortable they are all the same 14 pitch.
Occasionally, I see simple It’s George cues up for sale that might interest me if they could fit my Schick shafts. I am not trying to imply that Bill was directly involved in the production of It's George cues. I don’t have much confidence that a seller would understand and effectively answer my concern. So I have several ways of asking the same question. Does anybody know:
Does an It’s George 5/16x14 butt mate with an older Schick shaft?
Were It’s George 5/16x14 pins sourced from Bill or from whatever source Bill used at the time?
Do It’s George 5/16x14 shafts fit pins from other cuemakers that are 5/16x14?
I will appreciate whatever feedback I can get. Thanks.
