Hello everyone.
I was down at my local club today playing against a fantastic player when I noticed that he is just about taller than me and I'm only around 5'5 or 5'6. I realised that the cue he was using was only 56 inches and mine was 58 inches.
I also began to hold my cue further up the butt because it seemed to help my potting due to not overstretching but found that "sooner or later" my hands would slowly creep up to the end of the cue where I felt most comfortable holding it.
He was using a Parris Special so I asked if I could have afew shots and he allowed me to play a frame in which I potted everything quite easily. He also said that he was told a cue should only go just above your shoulders.
If this is the case then a 56" cue should suit be but I do have a longer bridge so maybe 56 1/4 or 1/2.
Does anyone else have this problem and what are your cue lengths and heights?
Thanks for any replies in advance.
Nicholas
