I live in Colorado, and sadly, had only found one 12 foot snooker table to play on. Never less, I have started practicing, and playing by myself. I'm a straight pool (14.1) player, and use an American style pool cue. I have a Helmstetter, 58" long, 19.5oz, Kamui Med tip at 13mm. None of the local stores sell snooker cues, and the few only stores that sell snooker cues, are not of the best quality (at least for what I can see).
As my cue is 58" in length, that makes my current maple shaft 29", and my heretic question that I'm posing to you is... Could I get an Ash shaft made for my current cue butt (maybe 31" in length and 9.5mm tip), and can I play at a good level with it? Or is it better to buy a complete snooker cue?
If the answer is get a whole snooker cue, are the 1/2 joint snooker cues not as good at the 1 piece or 3/4? If the answer is that I can just get a shaft, do you know of anyone that makes Ash shafts for American pool cues? Or can I just get an American cue maker to make one out of maple?
