9.5mm tip and 9.8mm tip

[tofushop193]

I do feel that it is easier to do draw shots and follow shots.
Hopefully like what sprogbasket said. Might be a blessing in disguise.

9.8 to 9.5 is not an issue 9.8 to 9mm is a big issue!

Maybe but to some that extra 0.3mm can defiantly be a factor, just like 1/4" or 1/2" can make on the length of the cue

Maybe but to some that extra 3mm can defiantly be a factor, just like 1/4" or 1/2" can make on the length of the cue

I think it should read 0.3mm

I think you're right

not what i meant - you can sort the problem in 10 minutes with a bit of wet and dry if it matters to you.

I am due to start working with a client who quotes this as an issue and feels that with a 9.25mm tip he puts unintentional side that we doesn't get with 9.5mm. I question this as I don't see 0.25mm causing that problem, it will be a cueing issue.

Only if you get 9.8 instead of 9.5, it doesn't work the other way around

Mind and keep him to yourself please.

9.5mm tip and 9.8mm tip

Yep mind indeed and as a result he has been keeping the cue industry active by all accounts.

I am looking forward to helping him to overcome this

9.5mm tip and 9.8mm tip

Yes very poor form on my part earlier, it should not have been mentioned - apologies :-(

Just my humble 2 cents thoughts on tips.

i personally advocate to get a 9.75 to 10mm tip for players who are not elite cueists as they are most likely to impart unintentional side to the cueball. This would mean more missed pots and result in all kinds of setup queries.
Most people also like to follow their idols who uses smaller tip sizes, especially 9.5mm. Top players are able to play with smaller tip sizes as their cueing setup is almost close to perfection and they have been playing and practicing all their lives to maintain their straight cue action.

Took me ages to find my cue, I remember trolling ebay for days and nights and found some gorgeous cues only to read the description to see most tips were 9.5 and under, and the funny thing was they were asking silly money for these cues especially for those under 9.5m and imo any cue under this should reflect the price massively

A trevor white cue etc 9mm tip 600 quid absolutely ludicrous

[jrc750]

In your opinion Leo! Some people like smaller tips, and they get charged the same amount to make a cue, they do not get a discount lol
