All my 14 thread shafts interchange among my cues. In fact, among my cues they are the most consistent in that matter.

Just make sure its not rolled too tight....... :thumbup:
Best joint - good paper, fine Columbian or Mexican, make for a loooooong draw, then you hold it (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,......) follow through, it's all good......
But seriously, I can't imagine the joint on the pool cue would make any difference. I would think it's more taper and tip if that has anything to do with it at all. I think it likely has more to do with you, keep the cue level, stroke low, follow through, try not to 'punch' the cue ball. Finish your stroke several inches beyond the cue ball, don't drive the cue tip down in a hook, the tip will reach the cloth naturally, don't forget to chalk up, now go forth and draw back
.....and don't let anyone tell you it's the joint

Not one pilot of mine is the same as another brand on the various 5/16 -14 cues I have. I also have a 5/16-14 flat face, so any piloted shaft obviously won't fit.
You got me thinking.
Dang it! I just got my office cleaned up yesterday. Had all my cues pulled out for a week. I got everything back in the closet, put away nice and neat. And now you brought this up...and I have to haul everything out again.

Here is the new joint that Guido Orlandi is now putting in his cues... they are the "bee's knees", that provides such a great hit.
The conical taper insures superb lateral & longitudinal alignment. The cone joint or most often called a "Morse Taper" is used in industry world wide. The feel is noticeable right away. Great Cues for players.

It isn't the joint
Some things stink.
You might have a stinker.
Try a house Cue.
If it works better you have your answer.
Tim Scruggs Cues joint type is immaterial.
That is not a universal trait.

Looks like something Layani has been doing for years in Canada

Someone I know has one, in fact, and I keep forgetting to ask to take a few shots with it! Looks like an interesting joint!
Yup. Difference is that the Layani cu has the pin in the shaft.
Guido Orlandi cue
Guido & I came up with Guido's new joint. After we had proved the function of it, Guido started making some. Later down the line, someone remarked that Layani Cues had one similar to that style of joint. We researched it & sure nuff there was no patent in place. Layani & Lambros both have conical style joints of different flavors. The conical joint concept has great many pluses.

This is the Layani Joint.
