I posted this question/photo in "ask the cue maker" forum, but I thought I would post the same thread in the main Forum because I'm not sure how much activity the other forum gets. I am looking to buy joint protectors and wanted to order the proper radial pin size. Do you know what type of radial pin this is?

It might be helpful to know the cue maker.

It's a custom cue made by a fellow in the Philippines. It was sold by someone locally, not directly from the maker. The makers name is Al Sarmiento.

Someone else may have more info, but my experience is that radial pins can get a little tricky.
As an example, I have a cue from Philippine maker Luisto Valo that has a "radial" pin. The minor diameter is slighty larger than a uniloc radial and most shafts won't fit it, but the plastic radial joint protectors I have here do, so you likely won't have an issue unless you are looking at metal joint protectors.
 
Yep looks like 3/8 - 7.5 or 8 so you should be good to go. I have a older Omega Billiards cue it had a 3/8 x 9 a regular radial shaft would only go down about 2/3 way. I think Mezz uses a 3/8 - 9 pin and they call it a Wavy pin. I just recently changed the pin out to Atlas Radial so i could use an aftermarket LD and Rhino 3/8 - 8 CF shaft on it. Like Garczar said any radial jp's will be fine.
 
Not giving preference but i order my JP's from cue components. You will choose Radius instead of Radial on the selection or just order Radial JP's on Amazon.
