The more information you have the better off you are.
Length, weight, stiffness, type of hit, diameter of shaft, tip and ferrule, and also I would say at least 4 different woods for the cuemaker to use as a canvas. I don't use abs/ plastic in any of my cues. I like to build with natural materials, phenolics, wood and metal rings. I tell people that order a cue from me to give me a minimum of 4 woods, or colors light or dark before I can come up with a design. I like to have at least some input for a design but sometimes I just like to build em how I like em. Those get built for stock and sell quickly.
