Currently have a piece of Taom 2.0 in my case. Used green Triangle for a good few years, so I got the Taom to try out. Also picked up some green Master to compare it to the Triangle, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet due to COVID.

I've heard Tipp Ex pens are quite good.

Probably a Mike Wooldridge Black Legend specced for English pool. One–piece, 57", ~17oz and an 8.75mm tip.

I'm the same. It's just experience and instinct for me. I get down, approximate a contact point on the object ball, feather a few times and take the shot. I've never used any aiming system before. I have never seen or heard of anyone use or talk about aiming systems for English pool...

9mm feels so much better than using a regular 9.5mm snooker cue. My Woods cue was 19.5oz, which is far too heavy for my liking, and only really suited me for snooker. I also prefer the feel of a 57" cue to a standard 58".

Nine-ball isn't possible without numbered balls and one-pocket would mostly be unheard of. There are American tables available, but they're not as common as English ones.

English pool table playing English pool. I don't know how I can be more specific. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackball_(pool)

I know of a guy on TSF used a 49" cue with an 8mm tip and about the same weight. Some people have outrageous specs. My Peradon is hand-spliced at 57", 9mm and 17.5oz. I love the thing.

Blackball. Reds and yellows.

Custom Peradon - also a one-piece. Used to use a Woods snooker cue until I found it was a tad too heavy for English pool.

OP was only curious about multiple shafts. No need to be a dick about it.

Always kind of wondered this myself. I assume it's though different shafts can be used for different purposes. For example, one shaft may be a simple backup, another may have less deflection or a narrower or thicker tip size, and so on. There could be numerous reasons for players carrying...

Three snooker cues, one English pool cue and one English pool break cue.

I do this, but instead of a handkerchief, I use a sheet of A4 paper. Works absolute wonders.

I'd only curl my middle fingers if I wanted topspin on the cue ball, due to its size in English pool.

I don't. I just use whatever's available at the pub or pool/snooker hall.

I do agree with Allison Fisher's comment that the pockets shouldn't be forgiving. The ones right now at the WPM seem good enough for professional level. I've never agreed with the safety margin for cheating a pocket. EDIT: I have seen the shots of the balls bouncing out of the pocket. Need to...

So odd to see a Mezz's woods so cut evenly like that instead of being glued and spliced like a traditional snooker cue. Looks like a traditional taper on your hand spliced cue, but is it the same with the top two? Or do they have American tapers?

I hate gripping a cue halfway up the butt. I always need to hold mine at the badge.

I don't think I've ever used anything wider than 28/29 for a playing cue, either in pool or snooker. Although, my break cue looks around the 30mm mark.
