I have a midsize. I installed 2 spare steel drawer slides end to end between the lathe bed and the taper bar. I can indicate anywhere along the full length with a magnetic base dial indicator. It works well for me.

The 58 inch cue made more sense 100 years ago when the average height was 4 inches less than it is today. The 58 inch cue became the defacto standard. Not to mention that the same 58 inch cues are used by women. Look at 10 men playing today with a wrapped cue. Their grip hand is either at the...
