What is the info for any way MW? Think that the average snooker players specs have changed?

it dawned on me that despite all the various questions/polls about cues, there has been none, as far as i know, asking this.

i don't think specs have changed much, but i'm just curious to see in black and white what people are after.

[H.I.F.L]

1) centre join, definately easier to carry overseas
2) definately ash, way more classy
3) definately one point face up splice/thick maple and ebony veneer just like your (CCO2A). anyhing more than one splice facing up puts me off.
4) length - 58 inch, I'm only 163cm and I've done pretty well with a 58 inch cue despite the many who comment that its too long for me, BAH!
5) tip size - 9.5mm
6) weight - 18.5oz - 19oz
7) butt size - 18 -20inch
