Yes, snooker cues are usually a couple of inches longer, they are usually lighter in weight, and they usually have slender shafts with small diameter itps.
is there a difference between pool cues and snooker cues?
Well, thank you! I am sure that not everyone would agree with you, but compliments are always appreciated. Thanks again.
I subscribed! Your a great smooth player and i enjoy watching your videos. I learn every video!
I’m not so sure I agree with you on specs. I have 2 Meuccis, both with 12.75mm tips, a Stealth that is 13mm, and a Steve Mizerak cue that is closer to 14mm. They come in different sizes. And some companies, ie Meucci, though they are a production company now, still make cues custom to order. You pick out one of their designs and specs can be made to fit your needs.
I haven’t seen any of those. I don’t think they are in the U.S. yet. Is there a definite purpose for having unequal lenghts? My first thought is, wouldn’t you also have to buy a special case to carry it in?
Love your videos RLong. What is your opinion on 3/4 cues? I am soon to buy a new cue and the trend here in Australia is to buy the two-piece cues, but not the ones where each piece is equal length, but rather the ones where the butt is detachable from the other 3/4 length of the cue.
