Have seen a number of threads about what cue or cuemaker has the 'best hitting characteristics" and know that is is subjective. But what combination of components do you think give the best results? I've watched a lot of pool and it seems a lot of pros have a stainless joint or joint sleeve. A lot of cues have the 5/6 X 14 thread, but I hear a lot about the 3/8 X10 and radial pins. Some say flat-faced ivory is really great. What do you all of you think is the best combination? Stainless steel piloted? 3/8 X 10 flat faced wood to wood? Radial with ivory joint, flat faced? Phenolic? Other?
Assuming you have a good, solid, well balanced butt (cue, not the other one) and a solid shaft (not even going there), tell me what you think is the best joint/pin combination for performance, stability, and longevity.
Thanks
