…the larger diameter the tip the more forgiving it will be.

“Forgiveness” is more about curvature than diameter.

I think all production cue companies made some ugly cues back then but a lot of good looking cues were made also. There are so many more made today that I can't stand.

I always liked playing with Meucci and Joss cues but here's a 70's McDermott that I think looks great

Well, yes, but what diameter of tip?

much thinner than pool players, Gary mentions his snooker tip is 9mm in that video. But they are also hitting smaller balls so not sure it transfers, he uses an 11 mm tip for pool. He also mentions needing a longer cue for pool than snooker as you need more power. So not convinced you can say just copy snooker players for a different sport when even snooker players change their equipment for pool.

Not sure if it relates to accuracy, but I don't think I've ever seen a snooker player use a closed bridge, although that's going into technique rather than equipment

You do not get any nicer or rarer than this 1970's Custom Shop box cue with 3 original shafts. Here is a link for the post for the cue: https://forums.azbilliards.com/thre...e-with-3-original-shafts.586861/#post-8468513

I just got one of these for storage. They’re good for the price. I have a JB and it’s definitely much better, but for storage and maybe take it to the hall occasionally, they’re good enough. I actually like the sleeves inside the pocket, holds an extension and jump handle extension in place.

I'm still here. Been a long time. I'm much more mature now.

How do you know what pin it is?

I think I saw another pic and I think it is the one with the pin in the shaft like this one.
