    Proper Height to Hang Pool Table Light

    58" or 59"???

    Trying to get some opinions on the differences between 58" and 59" cue play and action. Other than the obvious replies of: "the 58" is shorter than the 59", some constructive thoughts would be appreciate LoL. I'm getting a new cue made and have mostly played with a standard 58" for years now...
