Question for snooker players from a pool player.?

Question

What are the fundamental differences in the structure of a snooker cue from a pool cue? I want to know everything from materials used, weights, ferrule length and thickness, tip curvature and hardness, joints, popular styles and designs, etc. Sources would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Tip softer and the cue is lighter. More attention to the placement of the cue ball than in pool.
