Well this sucks !!! This cue plays as well if not better than any of the custom cues i have had... I guess ill contact ob to get one made thanks guys!!!!!!!!!
been there!
The deal is that threads are usually fit for fairly poor contact, maybe 70% or so, so there is slack between the male and female threads. If the female threads are short enough like a nut the threads seem to mesh perfectly even if the pitches are slightly different. On something deeper like a threaded hole the slack gets taken up and the pieces jam partway or if forced can gall and become a permanent installation! Here is how I learned these little details:
There are a lot of acme bastard threads, oddball pitches. What happens is that they screw on a very similar pitch until the clearance between threads is used up. As an example, I dealt with acme threads that were four pitch. Problem is that they ranged from 3.9 to over 4, the stock size was over an inch diameter, don't remember exactly now. Anyway, the stainless threaded stock worked great with one inch thick threaded collars, no issues. Then they changed to inch and a half thick collars and all of a sudden nothing threaded together. That is when I learned a bit about how the acme threaded stock was made and the actual pitch could run all over the place!
I agree, if somebody likes the cue change to a "standard" pin. The bastard thread knock off is going to continue to be headaches every time you want to try another shaft or need one for whatever reason.
