Should I have more than 1 cue?

[DeanoWolves]

I currently play in a snooker team and also a pool team. My cue is suited to snooker more so than pool but people have said I should carry a different cue for when I play pool.

Is this true? Should I have a different cue for when I play snooker or pool?

If you can control the cue ball when playing pool then stick with the same cue- I play both to a decent standard and use the same cue for both- IMO not good changing cues/Specs stick to one.

I find as snooker is my main game, pool comes fairy easily

[ADR147]

The two games are totally different.

[DeanoWolves]

So are you saying I should have 2 cues?

[jaffa.johnson]

what is the reason people have advised?

your current cue 1 piece or 3/4?

[DeanoWolves]

I have a 3/4 cue. I would like a one piece ideally

[ADR147]

So are you saying I should have 2 cues?

definitely - it is different in every way.

What sort of pool do you play?

[old school]

If you have a 3/4 , why not just get a spare shaft made for pool , cheaper option , same butt but two different cues .

[DeanoWolves]

Never thought about that. How do I go about finding just a spare shaft?

I would contact Andy Travis (member on here), send a photo or two of the cue you have, showing the joint, etc. and ask about getting a pool shaft to match, and his availability, etc.
Andy has done several jobs for me over the years, all good quality, quick timing, and good rates; I highly recommend him.
Get a few more posts to get over 10, then a bit of patience and you will gain the PM function which you can use to contact Andy

Two cues is the proper way to go unless you are playing both games to a high standard and can use the same cue.

I'm just playing for competitive fun in leagues. I don't take it too serious, just enjoy the game (snooker more)

Thanks for the advice
