Sometimes we get some inquiries for 7mm tip cues, and though we can supply these at an extra cost we do not recommend for most players. We do supply snooker and pool cues with many other tip sizes as well if required.
Of-course there are also many different sizes of table which also use different size balls but the above tip sizes are the most commonly used. Likewise English 8 Ball is popular worldwide and is especially very popular in France. 9 Ball is very popular in many other countries around the world, especially Canada. It is important to realize English 8 ball and American nine ball are only called those names because those are the countries in which those cue sports are mostly played and developed. With a table that has no ball return (not coin operated) then all the balls, including the cue ball will be the same size.Įnglish 8 ball cues and snooker cue shafts are most commonly made with ash and American Pool cues are made in maple with a straight taper. The standard cue ball for English 8 ball is 1 7/8 because it has to go through the ball return. American 9 ball cues also use bigger white ferules to give the cue more strength when hitting the bigger ball.
American pool uses an even bigger cue ball so the tip sizes are normally between 12.5 mm and 13.5mm.
8 ball size full size#
Generally speaking most pool players prefer and 8mm to 8.5mm tip for a 1 & 7/8 pool cue ball, and most snooker players prefer a 9.5mm to 10mm tip for a full size 2 1/16 snooker cue ball. The tip sizes for cues are normally determined by the size of the cue ball you are playing with so the smaller the cue ball the smaller the tip.
