Why is it called a snooker cue?
The solution was to come up with “footless” sticks. The handle of the mace was known as a “queue,” which meant “tail.” From there, it evolved, and we now have the word “cue.” Even with the invention of the cue stick, there were still some players that chose mace over the other.

How is a pool cue weight determined?
WEIGHT MATTERS
Like bowling balls, cue sticks are available in different weights. The best way to determine what weight you want is to try them out. There is no magic to having a heavy or light stick; this is purely based on what feels right to you. Typical weights for pool cues range between 18-21 ounces.

How long does a snooker cue tip last?
As for the tip, well it really depends on how much you are playing. If you are playing every day you might change the tip every three or four weeks but if there is a gap it could last longer.
