G 10 pin on break cue?

[CeaseLess]

Is having a break cue made with a g10 pin inherently a bad idea?

no

They are much stronger than you might think. The alu ones on the other hand, stay away from those.

I’ve had one on my break cue for maybe 15 years, no problems.

Just don't lean on it like Sigel and Archer used to. That kind of side force will snap one. I'd go with steel myself.

Hey Kim can you elaborate on the Aluminum pin? Is there a problem in general or just breakers? My breaker currently has an aluminum 3/8-10M pin, and I have had no issues so fare. I have not tried a G10 yet.

I have seen those bend. They are softer than you might think. G10 is generally much stronger.
