Pool Cues - More Than Simply a Pretty Stick

English pool cues, for example, have small ideas of 8 or 9 mm, whereas American pool cues have pointer sizes of 12 -13 mm. English pool cues have a small taper from idea to the but while American pool cues often have straight shafts with no taper till midway down the shaft. The buts are embellished in a different way, the American pool cues tend to have linen covers around the but and English pool cues more frequently have entwined but ends. There have actually been some significant pool cue makers down the years, perhaps the most famous of which is probably, Balabushka, who produced what is thought about the best pool cues ever.
