Dime and nickel sizes. I use nickel for larger than 12.75 mm and dime for thinner tips.

For my level of play a Nickle is better.
Even on a 12.5mm tip.
It is more forgiving when I need to hit the cue ball dead center with no side spin.
I am willing to give up a bit of spin for better accuracy.
Helps me make those straight in long shots.
??????A Q-Cube. Drill a 5/16 hole thru the center so you don't shorten the tip.
they both give the same spin on a pool cue
you won't see a difference until the tip is under like 9-10mm

Intending to hit center of the cue ball but hitting slightly off center, therefore imparting spin to the cue ball, will be lessened with a flatter tip.

so work on your stroke?

About half-way between. Call it 7.5cents curve.
