Usually a 5/16x14 joint screw but Falcon used a smaller pilot hole of .480, where Joss and other Cues have a pilot of .500.
Hope this helps

I forgot to mention
Joint o.d. is about .838.
To find after market shafts
Either have the head on the brass insert turned down to
.475/ .478 or have custom shafts made now that you have the spec's.

I don't know. I deal with construction only.

You could check with
Cue maker
Roy Mason

Mr. Mason is in Canada where the Falcon plant was, he also has things from when Dufferin was in Canada also
Great guy

Shaft can be flat faced.

So what's your point about the cost?

I think those older Falcon cues play way better then any of the newer ones.

I'm not going to get into Pricing on anything Custom.
Smart move is to find a shaft you think you like. If it has a brass insert with a .490 or larger head on it. Get it reduced.
Or get a shaft that is flat faced as Alphadog suggest.

Falcon still exists. Email the pictures to their sales dept. Worked for me.

BTW, flat faced shafts work

No way I like old cues I just like to get a falcon shaft that's straight 100 bucks or less .a budget pool player

Ye, the old falcons hit super sweet. Tough to find an original shaft in good condition. And it would have to be an extra if you just want the shaft and not another falcon cue. And for $100 or less? A boy can dream I guess.

I play a custom bowling alley wood shaft on my falcon. 11.5mm and stupid long taper. Love it. It plays better than the original shaft. I'm sure a custom from a decent cue maker nowadays will also play better than any original 30 year old shaft you might find. Pony up the $$$. It's worth it. You already got the butt for a steal.

I still have my old Falcon and doubt I'd ever look for another cue. I've had it turned down to 11.5mm and it plays the way I like. Still straight as a die after all these years
