I've used a number of snooker cues for English pool throughout my life, up until last year. Here's my list:
First: A Riley snooker cue. Probably the best 1/2 jointed cue I've ever used. Unknown specs.
Second: A Cuesoul snooker cue (3/4 jointed, 57", ~18oz, ~9.5mm tip). Affectionately dubbed Lucille, since I tended to "beat" people with it in college compared to the rack cues I'd been using. A friend of mine dropped it out of its case and dented the joint and loosened a weight inside it. Nonetheless, still works.
Third: Woods snooker cue (3/4 jointed, 58", 17.8oz, 9.5mm tip). My first Woods cue. Had it about a month until another friend of mine banged it against the floor and split the butt. Again, like the Cuesoul, still works.
Fourth: Second Woods cue (3/4 jointed, 58", 19.5oz, 9.5mm tip). My current snooker cue. Used to use it for pool, but it was a tad heavy for my liking.
Fifth: Peradon custom (one-piece, 57", 17.5oz, 9mm tip). My current pool cue and my absolute favourite cue. Received it last year, but I have yet to hit a ball with the thing, which is such a shame.
