Stupid pin question here,. If you have a forearm wood with great tone, which 3/8-10 pin would you use to maintain that sound? I was told that a stainless pin will mute the sound and a g10 would not. Any truth to that?
Your overthinking things. The joint pin can be used as a final means of getting just the right balance.
Some makers use G10, brass or SS exclusively, if it`s the "best" material or not can be debated forever, but you can infer that a cuemaker that uses only brass pins (like SW) thinks that`s the best pin material.

That would depend on the weight of the forearm and handle .
You can get an SS 3/8 10 screw that only weighs .8 oz instead of 1.3.
First of the year a little confused as to how this addresses not muting the sound.
