Longest Cue

[DeanH]

question for you guys
what is the longest snooker/pool cue ever made?
In another thread a 63" 3/4 has been mentioned.
Anyone heard/has any others?

Nice photo. It looks as if Earl got put through the wash and shrunk...

I once played with a 60" cue and already it was the weirdest feeling. Could never get used to it.

Yeah I heard about the one Strickland used, played a money match with it and listened to music and wore sunglasses the whole way through.

He'd be f**ked playing pool in my local lol can't even play with a 57" inch without having to take the butt off every other shot lol

Earl is a bit of a loonie . . .

"Strickland does, however, appear to have become a bit more quirky with age. Besides donning the green ear muffs, Strickland also was wont to examine the racked balls with a small magnifying glass. He'd gesture to fans with it between games, proclaiming "that's a good rack!" Strickland also made use of massively long cue that looked more appropriate for pole vaulting than 10-ball. "It looks like a javelin," quipped one commentator."
