Snooker Cue Information - What Should You Look At When Buying A Snooker Cue?
Selecting a new snooker cue can be a tough decision and because a cue should last many years it should be taken wisely. The main differences between various cues are the types of split, the weight, the size and the wood type.
One piece cues are more of the tradionalists choice - they look wonderful and don't have a seam which means a smoother feathering action, yet they can be difficult to carry about because of their size. The next type of cue is the 2 piecee and as the name suggests this type of cue splits equally into 2 parts. Two piece snooker cues are probably the most popular type of cues - there advantages are that they can be shortened easily and transported without taking up to much space, there disadvantages are mainly that there is a seam in the center of the cue which can disrupt the feathering action. The three quarter length cue is probably the cue of choice for most advanced and professional snooker players. These cues break around 8 inches from the base of the cue which means there are no problems with feathering and the possibility of adding a longer extension is also there.
Other things to think about when purchasing a new cue are the size of the cue, the weight and the type of material the cue is made from.
A heavy weight cue makes the cue sluggish - this is beneficial for beginners and hides a poor shot. A light cue accelerates faster and can impart more force and spin on the cue ball.
Most snooker cues are made to the ordinary length of 4 ft 10 inches however some manufacturers make slightly shorter and longer cues depending on the model.
The majority of snooker cues are made from ash wood, however some cues are made from fiberglass or carbon fiber and on occasion you see some made out of maple.
Every snooker cue needs a cue tip as this is the main point of contact between the cue and the cue ball. Virtually all tips are made from leather and the densities and hardness changes between manufacturers. The cue tip should be shaped using a file or with sandpaper into a dome like shape. By shaping the tip into a dome the player is able to impart spin onto the white ball more easily making positional play easier. The cue tip is attached to the cue with glue or occassionly screwed into the cue directly.
The end of the cue body has a metallic cuff which is known as the Ferrule. The function of the Ferrule is to attach the cue tip to the cue and take the majority of the impact when a shot is played. Without the ferrule the snooker cue could split when a high impact shot is played
Most of the factors mentioned above such as material type, length and weight come down to personal preference so consequently experimenting with lots of different snooker cues will give you a better understanding of which you prefer.

Questions & Answers about Cue Parts
Where do you strike the cue ball to make the 2nd part of this shot?
I want to try this shot but does this guy really pot the black or is it as the title suggests a trick.http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=T1z0y-XNrZU
The guy does seem to use the cue to help it in. Can you make this shot without the aid of the cue?Or is it just a luck shot really.
The only thing important about this shot is that you miss the heck out of the black so that you get it relatively close to the pocket nearest you, then you hold your cue out so that the ball goes in the pocket off your cue.
About actually making the ball...It's hard to tell you how to shoot it, especially since we never get a good look at how the shot's set up, but yes, a two-rail bank should definitely be possible...I'd recommend just experimenting with it yourself. The black will need to hit the side rail, then the foot rail and then go in the pocket...If the black hits the other side rail after the foot rail, then you'll need to aim more to the right...If it hits the head rail without touching the other side rail, you'll need to aim more to the left...
Why does HP Hewlitt Packard take over 2 months to fix and return a laptop?
I sent my laptop in over 2 months ago to have the motherboard replaced after it stopped working for no apparent reason. I owned the laptop for 3 months, pay for wireless internet (going on 3 months paying for the internet with no computer now), and it just stopped working out of the blue. When I call to find out how much longer it will be I get some old lady in India who cannot speak english and who attempts to read responses written in English on cue cards. They have no idea why it takes so long, they have no idea what is wrong with the computer. I have been told they need to order parts which will take up to two weeks, i have been told this a total of 5 times now. DO NOT BUY HEWLITT PACKARD AS THIS IS THE TYPE OF SERVICE YOU WILL GET FROM THEM. They have been 100% useless as far as offering any form of help, they make no attempt to understand or do anything about your frustration, they make no attempt to fix the problem. DO NOT USE HEWLITT PACKARD FOR ANYTHING!!!
Kind of reminds me of my answer to your illegal immigrant question and all the jobs going overseas. I can't even call my LOCAL bank without getting my call routed to southeast India with people who not only don't speak English and read from cue cards, but their accent to their bad English is so bad, I don't even recognize it as English and when I ask to speak to someone who speaks English their response is "I speaka Inglese". Then I ask to speak to an American, and they put me thru to a Spanish speaking person (our new number one language). I have never liked HP anything, and as for your question 'How long does it take?' Ask the wise old owl on the old tootsie roll commercials. . . one, two, three. . . we may never know how many it takes. . . no one is patient enough to really find out without just giving up!
