How long is the longest cue on snooker tables?

[Danger Mouse]

The cues that are sat on both sides of the table that we use for those long shots, how long are they?

I'm trying to decide if I should get the 9-13" telescopic extension to go on my 58" cue or the 20-34" one? Hoping to not use those cheap nasty bouncy cues again if I can help it?

i hope this help !

Standard just to buy mini butt and long extension and make sure your case can take them as well mate.

I think you had the right idea, the long cues with the long rests that you need for difficult long shots when your own cue is too short?

I meant to say I'm buying a 6" mini butt, so you're saying to get the 20-34" extension as well?

Yes .......

No idea the dimensions, it's just known as standard extension, the longer one. Basic kit when you start out. Buy from wherever you are getting cue from.

Thanks, just didn't know what the best extension was to get, as there are 2 in addition to the mini butt, so I'll just get the larger of the 2 then.

Thanks for your help chaps

Haa haa, don't you start as well!

Actually, the tip was the easy bit for me for some reason, though that may change when I start using it lol

So what are you ordering then? Get it done before you have second thoughts lol

Well, assuming nothing changes before I speak to Stu tomorrow at GBL, I'm going for the GBL C8 1pc, cue no.10 on his website, he had a play with it today for me and said it's a better cue than the Niche Ultimate I was looking at and this has a 9.5mm tip, so no messing about with it etc...
