I've recently been playing with a 11.75mm pro taper solid maple shaft. Need more table time to judge if it works for me.
Hello ,
I was talking with a Cue maker who told me that you should never go below 12mm on a shaft , I personally like Meucci 11.65 and I have some that is 11.5 mm . But by preference for me I like a 12 mm on all of my shafts. 13mm just seems to big and 12 just suits me right . What size shaft do you like and what do you look for . Thanks
I'll shoot with anything, 14mm down to 9.5mm, all bueno. I like 10-11mm conical tapers probably the most.
Why is it that snooker plays seem to favor conical taper over pro-taper shafts??
Do snooker players even use anything other than conical tapers??

But they don't really. A smaller tip is just the inside part of a larger tip, so it acts identically. The tiny "missing" outside layer only comes into play with maximum spin....the smaller shafts seem to magnify my errors.
