Hi… I was wondering about what you said about the cue tip. How does the ferrule help the prevention of the tip from splitting? I’m a little new to the finer details of equipment quality. I play snooker and i have a small store but i need to understand the finer detail of why these things matter. Another question is what difference does the wieght of the cue do to your game? many thanks
