Longer cue for big tables?

M
i can reach most all shots anyway, and im not tall, and also can shoot opposite handed on easy ones so not an issue. and also there is that thingy under the table that helps you reach any shot. i dont need to bastardize my equipment for imaginary situations that are easily dealt with.

i dont remember missing any shots because my cue wasnt long enough. maybe get some high heeled shoes or stilts to slip on to reach shots.

It's just not part of the game's history or culture.

I can tell you that even in the lowest establishments I've played in, pulling stunts like shouting during my opponents shot, would have likely resulted in a fist-fight.

Snooker is the same as 9 ball. It has one event where it's accepted (snooker shootout/Mosconi) and it's not accepted at any other events

It's just not part of the game's history or culture. But if MR thinks it's so great maybe it can start happening at snooker events too.

Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

Unplayed is generally un-damaged. you take a nice cue in a crowded spot the odds of it getting dinged are pretty good. that's my point. of course just using it won't hurt it. didn't think this required an explanation.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious. The only way to keep it unmarked is to not use it. Holds true for a lot of collectibles.

Okay….I was curious how you and others viewed this aspect of cue values. Like you, I do not think playing with a cue
matters much in terms of its selling price, i.e., value, as long as the pool cue was still in excellent, or pristine, condition.
