So even though I'm a pretty tall guy, 6'4", I still wanted a little more reach with my cue. Soooo I talked to Joe and though reluctant at first he made me one of those between the shaft and butt extensions that stays on the cue. (4 inch)... It of course came out perfect. Joe wouldn't have it any other way and the cue hits and feels great with a nice center balance. Cue is of course still DEAD straight too!.. Love Love Love it!... Here are some pics....
