Mezz 3/8-8 wavy joint vs. 3/8-10.

I bought a 30 inch mezz 3/8-10 ignite shaft from mezz usa. I have 4 cues that have the 3/8-10 pin, 3 of my cues the pin is to big to screw on and the other cue it won't screw alway down. Is 3/8-8 a thinner pin from mezz? I'm thinking this shaft was labeled wrong? Thanks Louie

I guess your cues have a 3/8-10 flat bottom pin and not a regular .285" ish minor pin like McDermott? If so you need to bore, ream and re-tap your shaft to fit the .308" minor of the 3/8-10 flat bottom pin

Some pictures would help of the pin you have. Also, call/email the company and confirm you have the correct shaft. If you modify the shaft to fit, your warrentee goes out the window.

I‘ve also the 30“ Ignite with 3x8/10. Want to try it n my Vigus but don‘t fit. I‘m not able screw it one thread on that modified 3x8/10 pin. Tried it on my SpiderWeb with a regular 3x8/10 pin like McDermott and it fits perfect. Think Mezz built these shafts with the same 3x8/10 pin they used for their discontinued „Mode“ series what seems to be the same like the McDermott one.

I'm sending it back so I don't void the warranty. Thanks for the info.
