what cue type or specs would compliment a finesse player and what cue would compliment a power player??
 
You can do it all with any cue with any spec... you just need to get used to it.
 
I think a lighter cue with a smaller tip would be better for a finnese player becouse of the fact that a finnese player will usually have a more precise stroke and generally more precise tip placement. Not to take away from powerful players.......but IMO players who know and have the ability to play a finnese game will do better with a lighter cue.
 
there's barely any correlation between the specs of a cue and someone's gamestyle. You can do it all with it all at the end of the day. It's just what feels nice for you.

Although I agree that any cue can be used to play any of the pool games, something might be said about the idea that the small position games were always played with heavier cues with more taper (conical) in the shafts, while the trend in the power rotation games has seen the average cue get lighter with more delay (cylindrical) in the shaft stroking area.

What's DELAY MEAN?

I'm asking for further explanation because I respect your opinion. I don't know what this means/contrast with stiffer? conical taper for what-stun? center ball stuff?

Thanks for any further details Fred

cue specs

maybe we need a serious cuemaker with knowledge of the game to answer the question, most of these answers are ignorant and uninformed

hahaha, who the hell are you, anyways it looks like you're off to a good start
 
I know a player who uses a 20oz cue with a 13mm tip who has more finesse and more power in one pinky nail than most have in their whole bodies. The point is that no games ONLY require finesse or ONLY require power. Any player who has one but not the other will find themselves in the losers circle. You need a cue that can do both because you will need both.
