Anyone using the Mezz extension? Seems like its easy to install and use? I hate using the bridge!!!!
Mezz extension

Yes, I have a 2-inch permanent one use with my Mezz cue, as I'm 6'5" and need extra length. I also have the 8.25 inch extension for longer reach shots. It screws right in to the back of the 2-inch extension. It works great, but why the 8.25 inch extension is so much pricier than other extensions, I don't know why - like $160+ with the needed bumper and wrench.
Keep in mind - it won't keep you from still having to use the bridge some of the time. Even when using the extension, when your bridge hand is more than 2 feet from the cue ball, you're better off using the bridge. I'm 6'5" and I still must use the bridge if the cue ball is 2 diamonds or less from the end rail on a 9-foot table.

I have it and I love it. Expensive, but if you play for even modest stakes it should eventually pay for itself.
Yeah, and the bottom line is, if you've already made the decision to pay the price to play with a high quality production cue like a Mezz, you probably don't mind paying that much more for the extension - as you don't really have any choice if you want one!
Hey chris, playing much better with the ext? How does it feel while shooting? Had a balance rite, loved it, but it eventually threw my joint all out of whack. Now I have a mezz, feels like the stroke is cramped somewhat. I'm about 5'11, wide shoulders
I have always played with a 60" cue - a Pechauer with a custom 30" butt and a custom 30" shaft, so when I switched to a Mezz cue, even though I was able to get a 30" EXPro shaft, I was still 1" short of what I'm used to playing with. I ordered the 2" butt extension, so now I'm playing with a 61" cue or 3 inches extra long, and I like it. They make a 2-inch and a 4-inch butt extension. Although I don't currently have the 4-inch extension, I'm thinking of ordering one just for when I'm playing on our 10-foot table, as there are so many more shots that come up on a 10-foot table that I could use that extra length for.
Ahh k, the 4 inch is on the way for me. Hoping to recapture some of the magic I had with the balance rite, except with the higher quality mezz joint and fittings. It felt ridiculously easy to get up and down the table, shooting long shots was a breeze too. The extra weight was great for me as well, didn't have to force. My previous set up amounted to 21.5 oz. The 4 inch ext should bring the mezz up to the same
