    Building a 55" cue/ shorter shaft, butt, or both?

    I've called some more cuemakers and have gotten many different opinions. Some recommend a shorter shaft, some a shorter butt, and some recommend shortening both. I'm thinking about trying to find two really cheap, old one piece cues and experimenting and trying both methods. So far, Predator...

    Building a 55" cue/ shorter shaft, butt, or both?

    55" cue That's interesting. I called some shaft manufacturers and I know Tiger will sell me a shorter shaft. (Predator won't) This would make it real easy because I could just use my std cue I play with now and just buy an extra "short" shaft to make the overall length shorter. The balance...

My basement ceilings are 84" high and I'm going to mount a 48" fluorescent light fixture on the ceiling. The fixture is about 4" thick so essentially I'm mounting four 48" 32W...

    suggestions for custom length (55" or 56") cue

    Hello. I'm interested in finding a good quality fairly inexpensive cue stick (<$200) that I can get in a shorter length. I'm getting a new pool table and my room is a touch too small and I'm thinking a shorter cue might work well. I'm also 5'7" so a shorter cue fits me just fine. In fact, I have...
