What cue's do the Top 16 use?

[Mr O]

Can we go further and list some of the specs. aswell? Pretty well known Ronnie's is 18 1/4 oz, 58 1/4" long and 9.5 or 9.6mm tip. And I think Selby's is 17 1/2 oz 57" long and 9.5mm (but could be wrong)
Anyone know any more? Doesn't have to be spot on, but would be very interesting to know the average weights and lengths they use. I suspect the average weight would be lower than that favoured by many (i.e 18 1/2 to 19 1/2 oz)
?

14. Peter Ebdon - Stamford 1pc ebony cue

Murphy has a Tom Newman

Ebdon uses a Stamford case not cue.
He uses a machine maple cue can't confirm maker given further up.
Stamford site even says Ding Junhui, Mark Selby and Liang Wenbo have cues and Ding Junhui, Mark Selby, Peter Ebdon, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Ian McCulloch and Jimmy White a case.
I have a case too

Selby uses a Coutts for pool I believe.

[stan-mullin]

Been trying to get a Mike cue to try out for months now with no result. Of course, I'm not ordering a custom one, just one of the flawed ones near my specs since I'm cheap and don't like dropping over a 1,000quid on a cue unless I've had a chance to try one and I've never seen one of Mike's cues in Canada.

On the Hendry-Acuerate thing...I only watched him play in the Williams match but from the little I could see it definitely wasn't his Acuerate cue. I couldn't see enough of it to see what kind of cue it was

Terry

Stephen is still using his Accurate cue, I spoke to him before the Legends final on Sunday, and he showed me his cue.

[platt]

Mark King uses an old joe davis 147 cue... altered over the years by parris

[Cueboy88]

Jimmy uses a Parris

[Watford]

Jimmy uses a Parris

Oh I thought he had a Will Hunt too. He was well known for that.

Why not? glover makes cues as good as anybody

[jonnylovessn8ker]

not that glovery is bad. they are excellent.

im simply read somewhere in this forum some time ago that ronnie is not very familiar with any cue maker's names.... other than a really really big ones

i remember something like he plays with what he picks up and feels right at parris beforehand.

Is Marco Fu using a Trevor White now, or is it still the Deroo?
Someone here posted that Marco was also trying out John Parris's cues.
