pin size?

Here are the different size pins that are most common:
Quick Release: This is the screw for assembling and disassembling your cue quickly. Just a few twists unscrew this pin. A few threads wrap around the head of a smooth metal rod.
5/16-18: This size pin is somewhat popular. It’s often paired with a flat-faced joint.
5/16-14: Another common pin size, these screws are usually used for a piloted joint.
3/8-10 and 3/8-11: A fatter joint pin, this screw usually screws directly into threads cut into the shaft. Threads wrap around the entire pin.
Radial: Typically screws into wooden threads. A smooth area in the middle of the pin separates the threads wrapped around both ends.

oops. yeah meant x 14
I am just curious. I was looking at the chart with different joint types and seems like all the lower end cues use 5/16 x 18 and the higher ones use x 14. Just wondering if one type is more expensive or harder to build?
Just bored and curious. Happy 4th everybody.

high end cues
I really don't think that pin size has anything to do with the price of cues .
I guess you should explain what a high end cue is in your opinion.

Well said, I like that.
I wasn't going to post in this thread but Dan's statement deserves acknowledgement.

5/16 X 18 is a national standard coarse thread size. You can buy it everywhere for the least amount of money and taps and dies are available all over.
