Cue spec's

[cazmac1]

Does any body collect information on professional players cues. When I try to get information on the net, I just get pages and pages of rubbish. It seems to me that it would be worth while and very usefull to have all the info in one place. It would make good reference material when having a custom made cue from scratch.
PS, does any one known the lenght of cue that Ronnie and Hendry use.
thanks cazmac

Pretty sure Ronnie's is just over 58 inch and 18 1/4 oz

i have the information but why would you need it - you need your spec not ronnies!

[cazmac1]

your quite right, I do not intend to make a replica of any ones que and have most of my spec's but I just want to get a feel for the norm /average.
I've been playing with a 57 inch cue I got from john parris and feel that it is too short me and would like to know the average cue lenght of say the top 16 pros.

I still don't get why you want to know?
How will knowing what the average professionals cue length is help with your desicsion at all? It depends on numerous things, how far up the butt you like to hold, how long your arms are, whether you have a straight or bent bridge arm.

It is fair to say, that most things in life follow patterns and standards bar a few exceptions. for example I'm sure there has never been a WCS winner using a cue of 48 inch or 60 inch,so there has to be an average regardless of all other factors. let me ask you a question If you found out that all winners of WSC never had a que of less than 57inch or longer than 59inch's and you where of average height and build would you then go and by a cue of 56 inch's I think not. I have all ready made up my mind to get a new que of 58inch's. but would still like the info all the same.:
Ps
If the above statment is incorrect please feel free to provide the info,If you have it?????

According to his blog, Mark Selby's cue is ash, 57 inches long, 9.5mm medium tip of an unspecified brand.

This doe's surprise me, I don’t know how tall Mark is, but he seems very tall to me I'm about 5-11 and find it difficult to reach many shots with my 57 incher. Most people adhere to the principle that the taller you are the longer the cue needed. This does not seem to be the case.

[RGCirencester]

Its mainly dependant on arm length. It is quite possible a short person can have longer arms than a tall person, the shoulder thing is a sort of rough guide and its a bit of a misnomer really. Personally I feel it is always better to get a longer cue than you require, gives you added reach on the table and you can always slide your hand up the butt to the correct position.

[cazmac1]

I'd agree with you, its seems to me to that a longer cue with the correct balance point is the way to go.
