Whether to change a good playing cue??

i'd be careful with using it as a pool cue too, even in its current specs, I take my pool cue to league matches expecting it to get knocked around a bit!

If you can afford to keep it, I would just buy a separate cue with pool specs and use that for pool. As mentioned above you can use any cue, within reason for pool, but snooker cues I think are much more personal.

I once altered my snooker cue to pool specs at a large cost because I wasnt playing so much snooker, I had to sell it within months for quite a loss to buy a snooker cue again!!

Why would your cue get knocked about? My cue comes out of the case when I play my game and back in it when I'm done pool snooker or billiards!

pool cue - long afternoons in the pubs, lots of beer been drunk, winner stays on, my cue will not be in its case every time I get knocked off the table lol. And on a league match night I can happily lend it to team mates and not have to worry if it gets dinged or knocked over.
I personally do not see the need in having a £3-400 pool cue as most £100 cues will more then do the job in the correct spec

snooker cues - are a different matter, only I touch them !!!! and again as you say above, on match night it will be in my case if it is not in my hand.

My cue is looked after no matter whether it's pool or snooker.

Also cue is for swap only now different specs will be considered
