Question

If i have a cue shaft cut down from a 13mm to a 12.50 or a 12.75mm will it affect the stiffness or the playabi

Answer 1

it shouldn't

Answer 2

Purchase a K-mart cue and go from there!

Answer 3

Before I could answer that question, I would have to ask you why you would want to do that?  The 13mm shaft with a properly rounded tip provides maximum tip-to-ball contact with a standard 2 1/4" cue ball.  It's a myth that by having a smaller tip, you'll somehow be able to put more precise spin on the cue ball, if that's your reasoning.  If you really need to know, I would suggest getting a replacement 12.5mm or 12.75mm shaft.  Don't mess with your 13mm.  Try them both and I know you'll see that a smaller tip won't actually do anything to help you.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 4

Leave the shaft alone and order a new shaft. I collect cues and can tell you horror stories about cutdowns. Remember too that magic will not come from the equipment but rather through practice and discipline.
