Custom cues and tip sizes

[Rusty in Montana]

I agree with mikemosconi in fact I won a 8 ball tournament using a wooden broom stick ha ha
Granted I used a lot of center ball and top but it's possible .
After a lot of working outdoors in all kinds of weather arthritis is starting to take it's toll on my hands and wrists , I've done better with the larger shaft diameters because it's easier to make a proper bridge where it at times can be difficult to do with the smaller diameter shafts .
Which if I were in the market for another cue would be a determining factor in which I'd buy .

For many year's my favorite tip diameter was 13.5 in fact I liked it so much I had two extra shafts built for that cue at 13.5
I've retired that cue for now and I'm switching between two other cues with 13 mm tips and may bring out another that's a touch smaller in diameter maybe a 12.75 ?

12.75 is a nice diameter, still retains stiffness. 12.5 seemed to start being whippy, though there's more to it depending on taper and such.
