I play with a 58 inch cue. I have been told by a few people that my bridge hand to cue ball is too long (14 - 15 inches from 'V' in bridge hand to cue ball). I am quite short at 5 foot 6 so would a shorter cue be better for me? Say a 57 inch or even 56 inch cue? This in theory should shorten my bridge. Or do I simply hold my existing 58 inch cue (which I like) further down the butt so in theory shortening my bridge hand to cue ball to the supposedly recommended 10 to 12 inches from bridge hand to cue ball?

Think most would say it maybe be a bit long but try a shorter cue to see how it feels, if you feel better with it.
You can have your one shortened if you feel that would help but there are starting points but not one rule fits all.
Hope that helps you start working out what might be right for you.For that one you've always wanted...
