I'm 6'5 and haven't seen where another 2" matters to me. But my hand doesn't grip the cue, just a cradle with my thumb keeping it steady about mid wrap. I've seen shorter players holding the buttcap and too many others with death grips. If you want a longer cue, I can definitely assist you but...
I will give a free upgrade to the Pro Shaft on the purchase of any new available Meucci cue listed at $500 & up. 5/16x18 pin. Add just $40 for a Pro Shaft upgrade on any Meucci cue under $500.
I'm doing up to 40% off select "first come first serve" Viking cues until November 25 for pre black friday and I'll edit this Thursday night for the 1/2 off black friday sale.
Email me for order info.
For any one who orders a new Viking cue from me, between now and November 4, 2014, values below, I will donate to these young players.
$250 - $499 = $25 donation
$500 - $749 = $50 donation
$750 & up = $100 donation
One of my customers has asked me to sell his Meucci B&M Series #3. It's less than 6 months old. It rolls perfect, at 20oz with a 12mm Black Dot shaft. MSRP is $600 new, he's asking for $450 firm so he can upgrade.
SOLD...
I'd either suggest hosting your tournament at an established pool hall or contacting an amusement company such as http://www.capitolamusements.com which is in Maryland.
