An English Pool cue is basically a snooker cue with a few subtle differences. Both are usually made from ash or maple, but:
- Tip size: English Pool cues often have slightly smaller tips (8.5mm–9.5mm), while snooker cues are usually 9.0mm–9.8mm
- Taper: English Pool cues tend to have a thinner taper for faster cue ball reaction
- Weight: They’re often slightly lighter, though not always
Many players use the same cue for both games — especially with a tip around 9mm or more. Unless you’re playing at a high level, the difference comes down to feel.
USA Pool cues are built for 8-ball and 9-ball and differ significantly from snooker or English Pool cues.
- Tip size: 12–13mm for USA Pool vs 9–9.5mm for snooker
- Weight: 19–20oz for pool cues vs 17–18.5oz for snooker
- Taper: Shorter pro taper for power
- Grip: Thicker butt and often includes a wrap
- Joints: Usually quick-release metal joints
If you’re playing American pool, a USA-style cue is the way to go.
Most cues are sold on their own, but we also offer cue packs that include a case, extensions, and other accessories. Check the product description to see what’s included.
- Snooker: 9.0mm to 9.5mm
- English Pool: 8.5mm to 9.5mm
- USA Pool: 12mm to 13mm
