After problem with a cue tip during an important match (Graeme Dott), I heard that Ronnie had a chat with John Higgins and got recommended Talisman Cue Tips. As far as I know both John and Ronnie and a number of other pro players use them

Ronnie O'Sullivan currently uses a John Parris cue. You can view the range of cues Parris Cues offer or customize your own cue on their official website: https://www.parriscues.com/ That may have been true but i know Ronnie has been using a Hunt & Osborne Green Plate cue for about a year now. That pleases me because i have been using Robert Osborne and Will Hunt cues for many years. Their work is second to none. Check them out at http://www.robertosbornecues.com/UK/index.htm
No. The typical snooker cue tips are much smaller than the typical pool cue tips. So, you can fit a pool cue tip to a snooker cue, but not a snooker cue tip on a pool cue.
A pad, known as a cue tip, is glued to the narrow end (tip) of the cue. A small block of cue chalk is rubbed on the pad to prevent the cue tip sliding off the billiard/snooker/pool balls.
The tip of the cue is provided with a multi-layered leather tip on its end that allows better contact with the cue ball. Without a properly maintained cue tip, a player cannot have proper cue ball control, one of the most important features of the game.
No. Rules published by BCA are very specific. The cue ball must be struck with the leather tip of the cue.
It is called chalking the cue. The pool chalk is an abrasive, not chalk, and provides more frictin between the cue ball and the cue tip.
The old ferrule is cut off, the tip is cleaned, and the new ferrule is applied using cement. After this has dried, the cue tip must be applied and clamped. After the cement for the cue tip has dried, the cue tip need to be properly finished.
For pocket billiards, the most common tip is a 13 mm tip. However, 14 mm is very common for "house cues". Many custom built cues have smaller tips, and 12 mm is not uncommon. The smaller the tip, the less forgiving the cue, but some players can get more ball control with smaller tips.
Yes, and most people do so. However, if your cue has a medium or soft tip, as many cues do, this cushions the contact with the cue ball, and lowering the force of the break. In addition, it will lower the lifespan of the cue tip drastically. The advantage of using a dedicated break cue is to be able to use a very hard tip to get as much energy into the break as possible.
