in a recent thread, pt said
"That size of butt was pretty standard for the Rambo/Hoppe era.
...players held the cue much shorter then...about 6 to 8 inches from the balance point."
got me thinking
did players hold the cue that way
because of the way the cue was built?
did they hold the cue that way because it was easier to?
how often did/do we cater to our cue
instead of catering our cue to us?
another angle to that question is
has our collective stroke evolved
because cue dimensions/technology have?
