Short cue or long cue?

Question

Which type of cue will improve my game more while playing pool?

Answer 1

besides length, you really need to consider the ballance point. i perfer the balance point back about 3 inches toward the butt, than most standard custom, and production cues. but i use a very very light tough and use the weight of the cue, and the balance point being back to my liking, supports my style of play. i've tries everything from 57" to 61", now i perfer the shorter, now that i have got the right balance point 4 me. i believe meucci sets their ballance point back farther than the norm? some have weight bolt systems, to adjust them. something i'd consider b4 i'd consider the length, is the weight and the balance point! good luck, email me with any questions, thanks

Answer 2

short for playing pool

Answer 3

cue's come in many different lengths and weights u need to find one that u r comfortable with

Answer 4

As I remember it. a Pool cue is 57" and a Snooker cue is 60".  There are smaller cue for the girls. It will depends of how the pool table is set up in the room. I had a 63" 16 Oz. cue made for me years ago. Most places it was nice, for short walls I could break it down and use the front end to shoot the shot. I like the longer cue for shot in the middle of Reg. size table. Never,never use your own cue to break with as if you loose the tip you are out for the night, or until you get a new tip on your stick. What will improve your game, Is practice,practice,and more practice. The same you you get to Carnage Hall and do not expect some piece of equipment to in prove your games.  Man I miss a cold draff beer and a level table. Shoot you for a beer. Those were the days.

Answer 5

short cue. you get more accuracy with a short cue. i use short cue for pool and long cus for snooker

Answer 6

i would always shoot with a long cue because the key to pool is consistency and you would have a much harder time being consitent with a short cue just because it is harder to have good form with a short cue.

Answer 7

I play with a long cue.

Answer 8

long

Answer 9

You need one that is the right size for you. Too long and you will find it difficult to make a good smooth cueing action, and the same is true of a cue that is too short. You might need to experiment a bit until you find your ideal length.
