for snooker i would say the average cue would be:

length 57"
weight 17-18oz.
tip 9.5mm
butt diameter 29-30mm
joint 3/4 (position varies from 12-16" from butt)
ferrule length 10mm, though you see more 5mm short ones now
 
butt + shaft tend to be always the same length.

(29" + 29") (29.5 + 29.5) or (30" + 30").

What would be the reasoning behind this? To what i can tell, having a standard butt length of 29" + adjusting the shaft for a player as a more efficient option - wouldnt exclude a big chunk of the 2ndary market either... Am i wrong? :)

Lets you put the cue in most cases. If you have a 32" shaft there are probably a bunch of cases it won't fit in.
 
I think the typical shaft size is closer to 12.75mm now.
Production cues are usually 13mm, but I rarely get orders for shafts that size, and frequently cut production shafts down from 13mm.
