Ideal Specs

[Matt-10ant]

Think I have actaully found my ideal playing cue specs and the cue it's self finally had my stamford altered and I can't believe the way it plays now.

57" length
9.45mm tip
18.1 ounces
28.5mm butt size
18" balance point.

Acctually can't believe the way I played with it after one session beating my highest break in successive frames.

Congrats. Beating your highest break twice immediately after the alteration can't be a fluke. My cue is nearly the same spec as yours except BP is at 17. Been using it for a few years and it's the cue I play best with. But I can't say it's the perfect specs as I don't know what perfect for me.

what was the specs of the stamford before you had it altered?

[Matt-10ant]

58 1/8 length
9mm tip

The rest the same

Was that re tapered Matt? Or did the tip only increase less than half a mill with an inch taken off the top.

58 1/8 length

hi matt
does the cue feel more solid with that inch taken off? then going from a 9 up to a 9.4 you feel your finding the middle of the white better and the cue ball seems to be going straighter as intended?

[Matt-10ant]

The cue wasn't retapered just by losing the length it increased and yes the cue does feel more solid I just need to work on my cueing at the moment to keep the cue straight.
