Industry standards or blue prints?

[barboxbanks]

I recently got asked to model a cue for someone and I was wondering if there are any available blue prints or industry standards for dimensions/measurements on cues? Not asking for any secrets but just the run of the mill measurements for cue building. I'll be modeling this cue in Solidworks.

.840"-1.250" end to end.
12" long forearm and 12" long handle and 5" buttsleeve including a 1" buttplate.

Match the shaft's first 6 inches from the joint to the taper of the butt (.014" per inch )
Make the taper of the shaft, tip to 17" from the tip to about 1MM ( 13MM to 14MM ). Fill the number in between 6"-12" from the joint.

That's a run in the mill cue I think.

Prather's catalog has some basic info on cue specifications. Give them a call or email them for one: http://www.prathercue.com.

Not quite. :smile:
The secret is deviating from the run of the mill taper to get a better hit.
Besides, what's inside.

Joey,

You and I are in lock step agreement on that issue for sure.
