I'm UK based and used to have many US cues, however as my local club removed the US tables I transitioned to UK pool a few years ago. I have a nice collection of snooker / UK pool spec cues, but I very much miss the design of the US cues.
Does anyone know a cuemaker that would be happy to construct a cue to UK pool specification? The main difference is the tip size I use is 8.75mm and the taper is different, meaning that the cue is narrower at the centre joing point. They are also lighter at 17 to 18oz.
I had a PFD cue that I had a matched shaft made with 9mm tip but it just didn't play right being on my US cue butt.
To make a cue that would play well it would need specifically making to snooker cue dimensions and taper.
If anyone knows of a maker that could make such a cue, and be happy to do so I'd be very grateful for the recommendation.
