bob frey options, help needed.

[Solartje]

Hi,

i know bob frey's sneaky's are considered the best players for the $.
now i can see that one of the options is:

Stainless Steel Joint 5/16" 14 Thread Piloted - $ 65
instead of the standard 3/8" 10 Thread Pin.

could anyone explain me what this option would add to the cue?
will the feel be different? is it just for the looks? will it make the joint stronger? (i dont intend to break with it, so is it needed)?

just want to know if the 65$ will make the cue a better player.
convince me to take the option or convince me to not take the option.

i honestly dont know anything about joint types :s i dont got acces to enough different cue's to test all the different types.

Yes the feel will be different. For the feel as for the look it depends of what do you prefer. Personaly, I would save 65$ and go for the 3/8''10.
I think that there is an old thread about the threads... LOL... juste make a research.

ok, i'll do so. thx for the info.

anyone can tell me how the shaft deflects compared to a 314?or Z??

the option is there for those who prefer the different joint

if you have no preferance (and since you're asking it means you don't) then there will be no difference to you

besides that, his famous hit reputation comes from the 3/8" 10

99.9% of folks cant tell the difference in pins...
joint types as in SS or Ivory..sure.......but pins......no way........

Some of the euqipment jockeys will argue this..but they will be wrong...

Go for the pin you currently have....that way your Preds or whatever other aftermarket shafts will fit..
