Snooker pool cues Are they the same?
What is the difference between snooker and pool cues? The answer depends on which versions of the games you are playing. In the UK there is little if any difference. The lengths are the same generally and the tip sizes are around 9-10 mm. You can get some English pool cues that have 8 mm tips but they are the exception rather than the rule. This is because the Game of English Pool uses almost the same size balls as snooker at 2 inches vs 2 1/16 inches for snooker balls, so the tip sizes are the same. The cues are mostly made from ash which has a heavy grained appearance although metal and plastic coated cues are gaining in popularity due to the more colourful appearance of those cues.
Talking about the cue tip that is the most important part of the cue and the most neglected, used until it is completely worn out. Remember it is the tip that makes contact with the cue ball so it is vital it is in good shape and changed often.
American pool cues on the other hand are slightly thicker and have 12 or 13 mm tips on them reflecting the fact that American pool balls are 2 ¼ inches in diameter so the cues have to be more substantial. One of the characteristics of American cues is that they are usually more colourful with their Linen wraps made of linen thread wound onto the handle or butt and glued in place. Also they tend to be made from maple which is a mostly grain free light coloured wood and gives a clean look to the cue. The wood, whether ash or maple makes no difference to the playing qualities of the cue. So choose your weapon whether it is a snooker or pool cue and have fun.
