I tried this on the main forum and got no answers.

Has anyone made a cue for Brizillian Sinuca?? I would like to know the specs.

Is it the same as a snooker cue?

What size are the balls? Are they the same size as snooker balls?

Information is scarce.

thanks

Sinuca it's like 8 ball with a slight variation on the rules. The size of the ball it's the same we use in the USA unless they bought a mini pool table at their Walmart equivalent :)

Kim, you might try to search www.google.com.br with the phrase "taco de sinuca" (more or less translates to cue for snooker). I just did a quick search and got this result which is translated with Google. The site says their cues are made from Abiurana (more info on the wood here: http://www.ibama.gov.br/lpf/madeira/features.php?ID=200&caracteristica=144). Another site mentioed their Sinuca cues are made from Ipe.

Sinuca actually means Billiards and not snooker even the words sound similar.

Thanks everyone..........

I have learned from the help that the cues are light, about 17 to 17.5 oz and are 59 inches long. Tip dia ranges the same as snooker,,, 8.5 to about 10mm, The butt seems to be about 1.2, a little thinner than most pool cues.

I saw 2 sets of balls for the game ... one set looked like a full rack like 8 ball but the numbers and colors were different than ours. The other set looked like a snooker set but with less red balls.

I have not found anywhere yet that specs the size of the balls.
