    I agree but you give them your cue,I'll give them mine - they'll still be awesome. It's not the cue.

      Buying a new cue

      No I agree. But for those of us not at that level having the right cue for each can help. It's all in your head though most important aspect is playing with that cue for a decent amount of time.

        Actually a few players who play both snooker and pool do like to use a different cue for pool for a few reasons - tip size and weight maybe length too. I think if I played it again I would too - although you can use a snooker cue I think because of the size of the white a smaller tip size is preferred for all the side and stuff to be a bit more pin point and a lighter weight maybe. Same for 9 ball - larger ball larger size larger weight. or snooker -

        Using the same cue is ok if you already use 9 mil or something at snooker and if you only messing around in a pub league but say you are county level or play in events and all that or are at a higher level then you need the right equipment for the right game - Selby, Melling and co use a diff cue for each sport.

            Well don't know how much it will go up but I had a look on ebay for you and this ain't a bad price right now for a pool spec.

                              I just purchased a Grand cue from ebay, its the best maple cue I have ever owned. It came with a leather case and both long and short extensions. I dont know maybe I just got lucky, but could not be happier, my John Parris maple is still in its case.
                              I try hard, play hard and dont always succeed, at first.!!!!:snooker:
