Cue Joints -

[zouk05]

Hi can anybody enlighten me on the biggest joint there cues are using, currently i know there is a 3/8-11 joint. is there any bigger joints around?
and is it better to have a bigger joint for heavier cues in order to achieve the balance.

hope members can share their imput

Radial pins are like 3x8-8. SS radials are kinda heavy. Hope this helps

7/16 is pretty big.
I've seen those.
Viking had a double joint w/c was kinda big too.

great feed back, hence would it affect the play in any way or is there no difference in a bigger joint?

Schmelke has one that's pretty massive. Jt. 1 in this pic. The OD of the threads is over half an inch. Both sides with generous amounts of brass.

Dufferin had a 1/2 x 13 but it was their aluminum joint so there was not a lot of weight.
