Oversized tip

[danbo]

On UNDERSTANDING MODERN SNOOKER WITH JACK KARNEHM he mentioned that some players like to use an oversized tip and file it down so it fits the cue. He said about using a 11mm tip instead of a 10 or 9.

For what reason would someone do this?

- Easier to apply than a tip of exactly the same size as your cue.

- Some players leave the "over hang" and play with a mushroomed tip

Yes I am wondering why they do this though.
