So, I have recently had to travel a lot for work. Air travel with pool cues is a pita so I have been thinking about building myself a nice version of one of these https://www.amazon.com/McDermott-Star-SG1-Portable-Billiards/dp/B01JD3SXK8
I have built a handful of cues at this point so most of the build is straightforward, the only trick is what screw setup to use in that first joint in the shaft right below the straight taper.
So getting to my question, does anyone have a recommendation and reasoning for your recommendation?
I typically just use 3/8-10 SS with the centering barrels, however that would be very bulky and heavy that far forward in a shaft. Going to straight rod is fine, I am sure I can still get it centered, but would going to a 5/16-14 and a lightweight insert be a better option here for weight, and structure?
Does anyone have a vendor for G10 3/8-10 rod?
Thanks ahead of time.
