I think another point that not many people talk about is to look at the length of the cue. Longer arm reach will affect cueing form and feel if the cue is too short or too long. Though adjustments can be made to cueing form but it may not be comfortable to play that way.

Great to see both hendry and now the grinder on youtube!!! I never really knew about different cues, can you explain a bit more about balance and what you mean? How do you feel good balance? Is it individual to the person ising it?

The problem with rolling a cue on a table is it wont necessarily show if its straight. The taper of a cue can make the rolling on a table method show that its bent when its actually straight. The best way to check is to sight down the cue from butt to tip like you're looking down a rifle and rotate the cue slowly with your fingers.

Hi! Mr. Cliff. Good luck with the world championship. I heard of low deflection cue. Can you plz tell me is it a thing or a myth. ( not talking about Titanium ferrule) If yes then can you suggest a good cue maker? I’ve used o’min, masters and many Chinese cues & none of those were satisfactory. Ty

the style of snooker cues have obviously evolved over the years. cliff, do you think we will ever again see a WC with a cue that has a central join like what you played with ? and do you think they play any different, or is it just the fashion /asthetics to play with a 3/4 join cue ?

I became obsessed with Snooker at age 11 back in 1985; I borrowed a Snooker textbook from a public library written by professional Snooker players from the 70's; in which John Spencer recommended that an ideal cue weight is 15-16 ozs; after testing his suggestion I instantly outright disagreed with his recommendation. A cue that weighs upto 16 ozs is way too weak for use on a Snooker table larger than 6'; and is utterly useless on a full-size Snooker table because applying spin when presented with mid to long distance shots is virtually impossible. The ideal weight for a Snooker cue is 22 ozs; and the ideal ferrule diameter is 10.0mm for a full-size Snooker table. Another thing that puzzles me is that huge swathes of people purchase a Snooker cue made of Ash, while Ash does look better, nevertheless the disadvantage of Ash is that it isn't rigid enough as it tends to flex upon striking the cue-ball hard for a long distance pot. Whereas cues made of Canadian Maple are a lot more stiffer thus they don't flex upon striking the cue-ball, or at least they don't flex as much as a cue made from Ash. When you strike the cue-ball hard using a Ash cue, when it's Ash shaft flexes certain amount of power is lost; I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about playing Snooker invests in a Snooker cue that has a shaft made of Canadian Maple, with a 10.0mm diameter ferrule.

When in Rome do as Romans do. Cue makers in England have better supplies of ash wood so they make cues with it. Weigh of the cue and tip size IMHO is a personal preference.
