another steel radial pin question

I have a cue with a steel radial pin to wood threads on the shaft. The cue threads on super easy and tightens up just fine, it has never gotten loose on me.

I've read about people swelling the threads with water to make the shaft tighter. If the shaft doesn't loosen up while playing do I need to worry about this? Is there any benefit for the shaft to thread to the cue tighter or snugger? As always thanks in advance.

If the shaft doesn't loosen up during play, don't worry about it. There are others ways to tighten up threads other than water, but unless something is coming loose, I wouldn't do anything now.
