Poison Pin and Inserts

One more bastard pin.
As if we don't have enough.
Sorry, I hate bastard pins.

I agree!!! For a 100 years four pins sufficed and now in the last 10 there has to be at least 25 now all asserting that their pin design makes their cue superior to all others. I say hockey puck!

You're just pissed that you didn't buy Uni-Loc stock when it was under $2. :rotflmao1:
It's not too late to get in though. You know it's only going to go higher.
That Radial thing looks to be a winner considering everyone and their brother wants to copy it or make their own version.

Anyway, the 4 pins you mentioned. I'm seeing 10, 14 & 18.
What's your 4th? The wood thread?

5/16-12 with an insert. Brunswick and some others used it in the earlier part of the 20th century when they mostly put pins in the shafts. The 5/16-12 got fazed out which left the three stated from the mid part of the century until Kershenbrock decided to start experimenting and upset the apple cart.

Bastard pins have been around for as long as I can remember.
I remember 3/8X13 in some cue from the 50's, An original Harvey Martin with a 3/8X8 brass pin, 5/16X13 in a Brunswick cue. But in todays pins, I think something has gotten lost, shanked pins with minimum threading on them, Some with no threads just pushed in, the one in this thread that is just short. Are the thoughts going backwards or just getting lazy?
