3/8 x 14...why?

Pocket Change · 2023-10-18T20:30:46+00:00

I'm a returning/comeback player and I went shopping (brick & mortar) for a new decent cue to get back into the game. I was lead to the Cuetec Avid line. Priced right for an entry cue, especially with a linen wrap, my favorite grip. I went with it and no problems with the cue, it's way better than me at this point. As I'm looking at possible different shafts it seems that the 3/8 x 14 is rarely, if at all, available from anyone other than Cuetec. I haven't even seen a joint adapter for that size; I'm not sure I'd use one anyway. Basically if I want to try a CF shaft it seems to be Cynergy or nothing. The question: is there a mechanical, structural, or other reason for this seemingly unique size or is it just a marketing move to keep you in the Cuetec family? If so that's Ok, I understand, just wondering. I'm not even sure 3/8 x 14 is that rare. Edit: I hope this is not posted in the wrong forum, if so please have it moved. -Ed

The original post briefly touched on whether there are commercially available adapters to connect Cuetec's 3/8x14 joint to other joint sizes. Are such adapters available?

One vendor does not seem to have them. See https://www.ebay.com/str/cueextensionsplus?_trksid=p4429486.m145687.l149086
