Pool Cues

Regulation Pool Cues                    

Although one piece pool cues are still available, most pool cues these days are two piece cues(split in two) where the bottom ( fat part ) screws into the top part (skinny part - the part with the tip). The two piece helps the cue from warping.

The minimum width allowed for the cue tip is 9mm with a maximum cue tip of 14mm. Snooker cues regularly have smaller tips and Straight pool cues ( eight Ball, Nine Ball etc.) have thicker cue tips. There is no minimum weight for pool cue.The maximum allowed weight for a pool cue is 25 ounces. The minimum length is 40 inches and there is no regulation maximum length, in fact, very often Snooker players will attach an add-on to their pool cues to reach long shots on a 12 foot pool table ( most commonly used with an extended rest ). The most common length for a pool cue is 57 inches.
