ferrule sizes - I believe is in metric because the cue ferrules (or was it the new type tips ?) in the olden days used to come from Europe and obviously in metric sizes.
I saw an article in one of my old magazines about this will try to find it
butt size -not sure why metric

Get this all the time in construction, when you visualise you see in imperial but if you need accuracy you use metric

found the reference I recalled - The Billiard Monthly Aug1911 p12 "Cue tips, being made in France, are sized by their diameter in millimetres, viz., 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13."

also found another Norman Clare lectures (2009) - billiard/snooker cues - http://www.snookerheritage.co.uk/nor...-snooker-cues/
"The actual invention of the leather cue tip is attributed to a Frenchman named Mingaud. ...(As a point of interest because of the 'French' connection the size of tips has always been in metric sizes. The only UK manufacturer of tips was E.L. Fletcher & Son Ltd of Baldock, now part of Peradon's the famous UK cue makers)."

Had this waiting for me in the office today... thought i'd share a couple of pictures although their low quality. I'll write a more detailed post in the next couple of days... all I can say for now is that it's a real stunner and I'm over the moon about how it plays )

57.5", 17.5oz, 9.5mm, 30mm
