The first obvious difference in cues of each sport is that they can come in either one or two pieces (indeed some even come in 3 or 4). Whilst fundamentally they are entirely different games - other than the fact that the object of both sports is to pot balls and are both played on a table - we shall focus on one such difference; the cues.The main difference between a Snooker and Pool cue is that the Snooker Cue tends to be up to 2" longer - 58" as opposed to the normal 57"Chaussures Puma Femme that the standard Pool Cue will be.

The advantages of having a handmade or custom cue consisting of, say, Graphite for example is that it won't warp.
