Snooker cues are usually 57-59 inches long and the pro-standard cues will have extendable butts to raise the length up to 6 inches (15 cm).
The weight of a snooker cue varies between 16 and 19 oz. Most modern Snooker cues are joined, usually by brass fittings, at the tip of the shaft about 2/3 of the way back, which provides an unusually long shaft as compared to Pool and Carom cues which are joined halfway.
As a result, you’ll probably need an extra-long cue case. The diameter of a snooker cue tip typically ranges from 8.5 to 10.5mm. They typically have flat surfaces on one side. Also, the tactile flat portion of the butt helps one develop a very specific way to hold the cue consistently every time.
Various cue shafts are available, the most common timbers used are Ash and Maple, and it is all a matter of personal preference. At the highest level, you could spend up to one thousand euros on a cue.
The best and most popular cues are produced in England, China, Thailand, Ireland, and Italy. One of the most important aspects of a Snooker cue is the feel, balance, and tip on the top.
