Which Viking pool cues joint is best?
Viking pool cues joint selection is a matter of personal preference. If possible, you should base such a selection on previous experience. If you are new to the game or have never owned a cue, your best bet is Viking pool cues joint 5 or joint Viking pool cues joint 1. Viking pool cues joint 6 offers the best hit in terms of how closely it resembles the look, "feel," and "play" of a one-piece cue.

Will the Viking quick-release pin compromise durability of the joint?
No. Viking researched this over several years. The removal of all but about 4 to 6 threads from the male pin does not compromise the durability or strength of the Viking pool cues joint because those additional threads are not needed.

What is the advantage of the quick-release pin?
The advantage is that it requires 50% fewer turns to tighten your cue and take it apart.
