Help clarify 3/8-10 question for me

I have read a few post about 3/8-10 modified version pins but having trouble clarifying for my possible situation.

Play Cue- Bob Frey Fancy Sneaky Pete 11-1/2 years old. Looks like standard 3/8-10 how can I tell?

Break/Jump Cue- Bob Frey much older cue. Looks like standard 3/8-10 and same as playing cue.

My new playing shaft I bought this year from Mezz is a Hybrid Pro II 3/8-10. This shaft fits my Frey SP just fine. I wont put on my Frey JB it feels to tight. Does this mean they are not the same pins? They look same.

Also I plan to by a new cue soon, looking at sugartree with 3/8-10 modified. Would my mezz shaft fit this or other newer cues with a 3/8-10 modified?

I quit playing for 10 years just getting back into pool now. Mostly just bars around here that I know of until you get towards glen burnie/baltimore.

Thanks that helps some, still curious if the current mezz 3/8-10 shaft fits any 3/8-10 modified pins out there. Would be nice to have it as a back up to switch out. Or why the 2 pins in pic look same but one is tight enough I wont try to force it.

A 3/8 10 modified pin is 3/8 10 but not as deep cut as a 3/8 10 standard pin. Standard 3/8 10 shafts (deeper cut) will fit on 3/8 10 modified pins. I don't think a 3/8 10 modified pin shaft will fit on a standard 3/8 10 pin however. I will verify this when I get home this evening.

Sounds like I could easily have it tapped to fit a sugartree if needed and would not need to be pluged and tapped?
