Question about high end sticks

I believe GinaCues are 5/16 18
The only one that comes to mind is Huebler. You can always get a custom simple Jacoby and specify a 5/16 x 18 for under $500

if youre looking for something that hits like a sneaky pete, im not sure i would be looking at just the joint. I think the actual cue construction would have more to do with the hit, for instance im thinking a full spliced blank would make a cue hit more like a sneaky, than just the joint. You might wanna ask the cuemakers section, they could give you better guidance maybe

I mentioned the 5/16 X 18 joint because I have several shafts that are that size, and want to stick with it. I have two of them that are great and don't want to change them. Going to a different joint means a whole different setup, and I'm happy with what I have insofar as shafts and tips go. Just looking for a good hitting and beautiful butt to put those shafts on
Thanks for the suggestion, though.Flex
Some of Burton Spain's cues had the 5/16-18 joint screw. If you want a tasty, higher-end product, you might want to search for his stuff. BTW, before he died, he sold his business to a fellow named Joel Hercek. Also, all the old Robinson cues had the 5/16-18 - I had one years ago and it hit real solid. If you can get your hands on a Blue Book of Pool Cues (try your local library first), you'll be in business since most cuemakers list the joint screw specs. Good luck!
While we're on the subject of joints, I was wondering if anyone knows a good custom cue maker that makes cues with a 5/16x14 piloted joint at a good price. Something like a basic 4 point no inlay cue in the $750 range. I have too many shafts and almost all of them have that joint.
On another note, does anyone know of a cheapo production line that uses that joint?

Flex - you're in luck. I have 2 sticks that I'm selling that use a 5/16 x 18 flat faced joint, although they're not high end. I think you've seen both.
1) black budweiser cue - comes with a graphite shaft that's great for breaking
2) cue with the water in the butt with the little red floating dice with wood shaft
Let me know if you're interested. The budweiser butt hits really good when used with a decent shaft.

oh by the way, if you're not interested in one of my cues - I'd recommend just dropping the 5/16x18 joint and shafts you have and going with something more "normal" e.g. 5/16x14, 3/8x10, radial, etc. - especially if you get a high end custom cue. Unfortunately, the 5/16x18 joint seems to be looked down upon by the pool playing public.

And this is coming from someone with a cue with a fish tank in it....
There is nothing wrong with this joint type...

I'm happy with the shafts I have and the 5/16 X 18 joint is fine. I've had cues with other joints, among them some of the ones you mention, nothing against them, but why throw away a good custom shaft, a Predator 314, and others just to follow someone else's preferences or current fads?
