Do snooker cues count?

I've always wanted to open my own place, but I do understand the risk. My plan is to first start a mobile repair business for tips, ferrules, bumpers on house cues and at tournaments. The idea here is also to get the lay of the land in my area to see where the hot and cold spots are...

Here's my Mariposa cocobolo and ziricote

Dangit, the sickness has struck again. Just picked up a solid purple heart break cue to match my sneaky. I mean, I did need a dedicated breaker... I'm up to 7 total. Jump cue not included. That's a nice number. Hopefully it stays that way.

My case is pretty short and it fits your average pool cue. It's a 1×1 even if it had the original interior. The snooker cue is 1/2 joint. All Maple with a wood pin. Pretty unusual with a brown phenolic ferrule. I like it because it feels more like a pool cue and ash is too porous.

Certainly to each their own. I enjoy variety. I also play guitar and have 4. An acoustic, a bass uke, strat, and Vintage hollow body. From the 60s 80s 90s and modern, but all are designed to have different sounds. I had two strats at one point, but couldn't stand having a repetition. Same...

Well, I never updated this thread. Trip was great and I found very friendly action. Lost 2 sets 10 ball and 8 ball for 500 pesos each, then played last pocket for 1000 and came out even. I only had one night to play but it was a cool little pool hall. Action found me in 2 seconds. Fun stuff
