This has been popular among my pool buddies. A mushroom tip is a cue tip that is a bit bigger than the ferrule (hence “mushroom tip”). Pool players adopt the mushroom tip because of the principle that the bigger the tip the less chance of not being able to aim properly at the ball.

the average tip size for a mushroom tip is 10mm over a smaller ferrule usually around 9.5mm. If you intend to make one, it is usually recommended that you get a bigger tip, around 12mm then just trim it down to your preferred size. You might wanna use elk or blue diamond for your cue tip for easier trimming/shaping.
