        There is a difference between who has made their cues and what they specs are.

          The reason i am asking this question is to find out why majority of the mass produced cues these days are with spec's of 9.5mm tip and weight of 18 - 18.5oz,dont they produce cues with bigger ferrul's and lighter weights anymore ?? or am i the only snooker player who likes bigger tips and lighter cues.

                lol.

                ronnie being freaky enough to give his cue length an extra eighth of an inch, snookerloopy being careless enough to call that cm...


                a cue with 58.125 cm length is not allowed

                    I knew you knew I knew it...

                    .125 cm isn't really that much. be sure not to file down your tip

                        Aha!! Now I see my problem...I've been telling all the girls I'm 10cm and not having any luck.

                        Damn those new metric measurements we have to use in Canada!

                            No I think quite a few Pros have bigger tips and lighter cues. But you know the optimum size might depend on the individual peice of wood. My mate had a nice Ye Olde Ash with 10mm tip he used for pool and it was really responsive.

                            It may be that modern ash is different to the older stuff. Perhaps it's stiffer, and that's why 9.5 is better than 10mm for modern cues? Stu Green of GBL is a former snooker pro and he seems to think 9.5 and 18-19 oz is ideal for getting into the white.
                            Tear up that manure-fed astroturf!
