          • Cue looks very nice and you look to be hitting the ball well. What is your own normal cue length? 61" is a good bit longer than standard but it didn't seem to be causing you any problems.

            • Finally seeing you use a cue that fits your physique Jason. You looked far more relaxed, straighter bridge arm, cue arm just behind the vertical at address with a slightly longer bridge for a longer backswing and follow through when needed. 61 inches too long for you at six foot four ? don't think so mate, stick with it.
              I know you disagree with me over this but a taller player needs a longer cue and three inches over standard is less than the width of your hand, nothing too severe at all. For sure you can compact your action to fit inside a standard length cue but why should you when there are cue makers like ourselves who can provide something that enables more relaxation in the stance.
              An extended standard length cue won't have the correct taper for it's length and could feel wrong, but one made to specs will have the correct taper for it's length and it's feel would be perfect. Taller man, longer legs and arms and bigger hands all have to be taken into consideration and you've nailed it with this one IMO.

              All we need now are tables that can be jacked up when it's our turn.
              Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
              but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair

              • no doubt with a harder tip i could kinda get used to this, i just think the wood looses its vibe and consistancy if its too long. for me anything within 57.5-58.5 would be fine.

                • Another nice cue 'J' and you don't seem to have too much trouble using it!

                  When I came back to snooker I had a 60" cue (I'm 6ft 2) and it felt fine (fairly straight bridge arm but not as pronounced as Joe Davis).

                  Had a frozen should and have had to use a 57.5" and be a bit more compact to get comfortable.

                  I wonder how many tall players don't use a cue proportional to their height and maintain a good standard (and I don't mean me!).

                  Nice work again though mate.

                      • heres a cue that needed an op. will elaborate when done.. but with the cue being called "crown' had to give some pomp and ceremony to the job.

                        • They'll be a few of those old Crown cues still in club racks. I take it this was a nice shaft.

                            Yes but I think the long chunky ferrule and off set weight was holding the shaft back from performing on the table.

                            • Nice design, are you refitting the badge or keeping it as a round butt cue?

                                iv put this to one side for now along with a couple of others, but when i come back to it the priority will be to tweek it till it plays to its potencial.
