How ironic that a thread about SNAKEwood, can grow arms and legs.
Don't forget the cues are beautiful, play-able, and open to offers.

It's a shame we all keep hijacking Bill's sale thread but...Originally Posted by mythman69 View Post
Extract below from a discussion I had with David Smith a few months ago about why some cues of certain eras are nearly always 55"-56", just David's 'view' on 'cues' but it makes sense?
The reason cues were shorter is because of the way the game was played, using a cue evolved from using the mace, which was held upright at the table its natrual that people would adopt a cue to be used in a similar way.
Also before the popularisation of billiards it was mostly played by the gentry, and getting down to play a shot as we do now (and sticking your backside in queen victoria's face) was probably a no no! If you don't get down in way we do now and imagine playing the shot standing and semi standing you don't need 58 inches, in fact having a long cue would just be sticking out of the end and be unbalanced. The reason ladies cues were always sold very short was probably down to this, as these were high end expensive cues sold to the upper classes where perhaps it remained 'not the done thing' for longer.
It would have been the professional billiard players who evolved into the modern stance as people became sucessful using it, so others followed. Over time as billiards became popular amongst the less wealthy 'the common man' would have just copied what they saw the professionals doing, and not be as bound by any social taboo - hence the billiard cue grew longer.
No idea at what time period this might have occured though, I'll leave that to others.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
