Suggested Guidelines For Snooker Cues

Here are some guidelines you can use to evaluate snooker cues.

10mm tips are the international standard and 11mm could be offered as an alternative. These smaller tip sizes allow the players to finesse the lighter and smaller balls.
Most snooker players prefer the soft Elk Master tips. These tips allow for better cue ball control due to the leather being softer.
European players seem to be using more ash cues. These cues have a traditional look & feel.
Some players prefer the hit of the trophy & glider joints. (These joints allow for a smoother transfer of energy between the butt and joint.)
16 to 18 ounces are the normal weight range for a snooker cue.

These are just a few characteristics to get you started in picking out a snooker cue.

I have played snooker a good deal in the past and was pretty good but always used a regular pool cue (with a snooker cue length) from 18 oz to 22 oz with a 13 mm tip. I have wondered about changing to the smaller pool cue tip, but I did not like them the last time I tried one (which was maybe 30 years ago).

Do you sell snooker sticks or maybe a shaft that I could put on my own pool cue stick?
