Hi there.
I'm in the market for a new cue and will very likely end up getting one custom-made.
The reason being is that nearly all the cues on the shelf are 57" (a few are 58"). I'm 189cm tall (6 foot 2) and my old cue was about 58", although I've often felt I could do with a slightly longer cue.
My question is - how long should a cue be? I've heard shoulder height but I'm not sure if that's a myth or just a general guide.
Is there anyone here about my height and, if so, what length cue do you use and feel comfortable with?
I'm thinking of getting one about 59". A friend of mine has one 61" which I thought was a bit long even though he's my height.
Would a longer cue would mean a whippier cue? More susceptible to warping?
And then there's the potential problem of having a case to fit.
Any thoughts?
