Not sure if its true, but I do remember a clip about Stephen Lee's tip size and how it was smaller than average. I think Willie said it looked like a 9mm.

John Spencer used to use a small tip in his prime, Alex Higgins describing it as 'like the tip of a knitting needle'.

Murphy uses a small tip, 8.5mm I think, as does Matthew Stevens, around the same size. So long as you deliver the cue straight and you are hitting the middle of the cue ball anything above 8mm is fine, sounds easy but delivering the cue straight is what sets the top players apart from the rest of us.

Fair enough............but Thorburn could have nicked the quote from Alex!!
