    Anyone know?
    I had a look at his cue a few weeks ago down the club , but was more interested in the butt and the high badge rather than the tip .

    The Pro's down the club use smaller tips than 9.5mm . Drago uses a small tip . As does Michael Georgiou .....all less than 9.5mm .

    Not sure what size Maflin or Fu use .........but will ask if i see any of them .
    Still trying to pot as many balls as i can !

        what was the craic with the badge being so high up?

        The length of the butt took me by surprise though... when he was down on his shot the ebony was pretty much to his chin. It must one hell of a front loaded cue, that.

          It is unreal at times with the amount of Pro's and Ex Pro's that use the place .

                I believe it has, I think it is a Hunt & O'Byrne cue, ADR put up some nice pictures of Jimmy's cue a few months ago, sorry I cant remember which thread it was though.

                    Just looking at Bingham's tip on the opening game and the actual tip is quite big now as in height (not diameter). I took a photo of it a couple of tournaments ago and there was barely a tip on there so was quite surprised to see such a change of tip dimensions in just a couple of months?
