Looks to be 3/8-10. 3/8 being the diameter and 10 being the number of threads per inch.
Is it sticking out a little over an inch? I'm counting 11 threads visible.

What's the possibility it's not 3/8-11 I made this mistake before, it turned out to be 3/8-11 When i guessed it at 3/8-10 that cost me , sometime to get what i needed to make it right The only way i new for sure was you try a 3/8-10 pin, then a tap , then the thread gauge lol Also, it's hard to judge anything from one picture, could be the angle that makes the pin look longer.
Hey Op share some measurements info on cue, maybe just length of pin or where the cue came from, maker etc.

It's a Sherm Adamson cue, pics are from it being listed for sale . Was hoping someone could tell by the pic since the owner has no idea
 
Ah, a new low in the pin-size guessing game, AI powered by idiots on reddit.

At least @Mike Rys is suggesting using a tool.

Look, take the cue to someone who understands how to measure threads. That isn't the guy at Home Despot, Lowe's, Menards, Dollar General, or the Jack-in-the-Box Drive-thru. It might be the guy at Fastenal. Any decent machinist can do it, some mechanics, most mechanical engineers. But nobody is doing with much confidence by a crappy photo on their iphone.

Now that I see this, the pin does look a little smaller than 3/8. Here's what Perplexity AI says:

I'm not sure where you found this, but most of sherms cues were 5/16-18 I've worked on quite a few and have never seen anything of his other than 5/16-18 and the radial pin

He doesn't actually have the cue, which makes measuring a little difficult. :ROFLMAO:

Sounds like he took a picture and is trying to id the cue by the pin to decide if he wants to purchase it, That's hilarious! What a wasted thread

How is it a waste? He's thinking about buying it and needs more info. He tried asking the owner and they had no clue. Asking a bunch of cuemakers sounds like a good option.
Too bad some of them just want to piss and moan about it.
Hopefully the people who actually want to help can give him enough info to possibly get the owner to verify what it is.

I totally agree, however he needs to know more info so he can share it. We can't identify this cue by only seeing the pin. have him show us the whole cue If the person he is buying from won't show the whole cue he needs to say no deal. Anybody could have changed that pin

Look closer THE PIN LOOKS TO BE WITHIN A PLUG, insert, etc.

We all know a pin does not define a cue, so what's the point here, all this wasted energy because the op here doesn't have a clue and neither do we
Sounds like he is being catfished or did we all JUST get catfished lol
