What joint does your playing cue have?

That thread pattern is actually a thing.

Well my fictional pin wasn't so grounded in fantasy cue hunter land!

To be fair, I was wondering if I was missing out on some weird joint like 3/8-12 and had to look into it.

I have a Valhalla with a 5/16 X 18 and a Viking with 5/16 X 18 quick release.

I accidentally put the Valhalla shaft on my Viking the other night, and was surprised to see that it fit perfectly.

3/8x11, before was modified (US) 3/8x10, before that Mezz Wavy

Besides the Mezz being annoyingly stiff, can't say I notice the difference between any of the three.

no listing for 5/16x18. i've got two cues with that and another with 5/16x14. Makes no difference. Why do people worry about this shit?

And if it doesn't, a cue maker or repair person can bore out a couple of the top threads in a shaft insert to make it fit. I've had to do that in the past to put a Revo on a Viking quick release.

Sorry 5/16x 18 was left out because azbilliards survey only allows 10 items to vote on.
I want to know how many shafts I should pre-make for each joint in my shop.

Reasonable goal.

But putting "other" in the survey can't help achieve that goal, putting the 18 pin would.

So...?

It's an extremely common pin vs "other". You can't stock "other".
