I recently started to shoot with a 12 mm tip (9 ball). I really like the way it looks when I am hitting away from the center of the cue ball and I feel like I am getting less deflection on side english shots (I use a standard maple shaft). My only problem is that I am not as accurate (compared to a 13 mm) when drawing or hitting shots with top spin. I am also having problems drawing the ball as much as I used to with a 13 mm. I play with a dime shaped layered tip as well.
Should a novice like me stick to a 13 mm and leave the smaller diameters to the more advanced players?
