What is the ideal length of a cue

[mrjules71]

Hello I want to check the following, I'm going to order a custom Snooker cue, I need to know exactly which cue length is perfect for my height of 1.69 meters, how the ratio is calculated for a good balance in the cue. thank you very much. Regards

What is the ideal length of a cue

personally I don't think there is a ratio but many people and coaches say get a cue up to your shoulders.
but there is nothing better than going to a club or shop and your playing partners and try out as many cues of differing length and find the length that feels right to you
so keep the tape measurer in your pocket for the next few weeks
Let us know how you get on and your findings

IMO there is no real theory.
I agree with Dean. Whatever feels comfortable and balances nicely when you are cueing.
Best way to do that is to try as many cues as you can get a hold of...
