Does anyone know of a firm who manufacture cue joints. I am looking to try to get a couple.
Thanks for any help.
Hi
Please PM me your address and I will post you a couple FOC. I don't make them myself, they are made in Germany, but I have snooker joints in stock. American pool cue joints and Carom cue joints are held in Germany.
sorry i'm asking as i can't seem to find any info on your joint
Have a look at the website www.1klik.co.uk if you want samples PM me your address.
It has three locking points like a cam, but the problem with cams is they tend to lock on one point making the joint out of line. With mine it has a unique self alignment feature which forces the joint to lock on all three positions.
I have just made an extender based on the same 1Klik technology which will available shortly, and even if I do say so myself it is amazing

once more a very decent offer from you Stan, many thanks for the link, but I no longer have access to the type of tooling required for the consistant manufacture & production of cues to a level of quality/precision I would require.
I do have a handful of cues I am working on at present & one of those will need a 3/4 joint replaced, but on this particular cue, I must use the original makers joint I'm afraid.
I do have another question about your joint, if that's ok?
what is the total weight of the complete joint?
Can it be cut down small enough to be used as a mini-butt joint ?
I will weigh one for you and let you know when I get back to work. Most of the weight is in the flanges like all snooker joints. They can be cut down to be used as a mini butt extension if required. I will be making some pin and insert style joints for a new customer in the next couple of weeks, I have been very busy working on the cue extender for the last month, now that it is finished, I am getting round to sending samples and starting new projects.
Everybody who has asked me questions over the last 2 months, or asked for samples, please send me a new message and I will do as asked :-)
Hi Stan Id just like to say the 1 klik cue joint looks an impressive design for the cue sports market, the only concern I have is the exposed wood around the joint. With the current joints used in cues today they all have a plate type fitting that protects the butt and shaft. Could there be a possibility of an additional 1 klik joint in the future that includes the plates?
I do think its great you get the look of a one piece cue with the 1 klik joint though, keep up the good work. Cheers Daz.

Hi Daz
The joints I have made for the snooker industry have the the 30mm plates, the cuemaker can then turn them down to size. It does work well with the plates removed giving the wood to wood connection, due to the nature of the joint it doesn't put any stress on the wood.
The animation on the website was done by my web designer, and is a general 'cue' design do show the joint in action.
