Longer Cue - What to do?

[duffster]

you could have your cue lengthened at the butt and make it up to 59inchs, then if you are not happy with the length you can have it shortened from the top of the shaft down, which will be easy!

I too would like to try one of these gravity cues.

The basic cue design has not changed all that much in a hundred years (Unlike golf, tennins etc) and I am of the opinion think that innovation in our sport adds interest and can and does help to better the game (as it did with the mini butt, coaching methods, finer cloths, tips, even weghted balls, heated tables for example.) If its a hidden joint that makes a two piece cue feel more like a one piece or a gravity cue that claims to help the cue want to go forward in a straight line more this all adds to the interest of the game for me. I personally cant say if any of these things are 'gimmics' without trying them out for myself first. Trevor White may be right but I think it would be interesting to give these things a try first and report on them on TSF..someone should.
