What is the difference between snooker and pool cues? The answer depends on which versions of the games you are playing. In the UK there is little if any difference. The lengths are the same generally and the tip sizes are around 9-10 mm. You can get some English pool cues that have 8 mm tips but they are the exception rather than the rule.

Snooker cues have a lot of mystique about them, but when it comes to actual play it is the player not the snooker cue that pulls off that impossible shot.
