are many of the best players using long

If you have a 56 inch cue, it's harder to reach some shots than a 58-60 inch cue
How would any of us know what the BEST players are using? Or, more to the point, why would we care?
Why don't you direct your question to the rank and file here at AZB? :smile:
The advantage is really for those who have moved beyond the Bumper Pool and 7 foot tables. (There's a comment that should get this started.)
Most cues I sell are 60", many customers want extensions between 5" and 12".
Tall people love them as well, my tallest customer is 6"10" and he loved it at first grip.
I agree I am also 6'5 and have tried cues with mid and back extensions. in the process of have a butt made 32 inches long. I think it gives the ability to reach more shots and I believe for the Pros IMO it allows a more consistent stroke as a tall player a lot of shots my hand is past my elbow at the cue ball so I don't have much follow through on a lot of shots.
Hey Tramp, are either of your high quality cues available in anything longer than 40 inches :thumbup: ?

Indeed they are. Both cues are available in a 32 inch version for children, midgets, and other vertically challenged individuals, as well as a 68 inch model for circus freaks, and NBA players.
We also offer cues that shoot around corners, and a special braille model for those folks who are optically impaired.

" I heard you made a 7 foot cue for Earl,
bur he said it was too short
Yes. It was 7 feet 2 inches, to be exact, without the extension. The extension added another 2 feet 10 inches. Our design department had to come up with a new case.
We made two cues for him. The aforementioned player, and a break cue that weighed a whopping 13 pounds, utilizing our new 4Skin Diamond Cutter, break tip.
The first time Earl used it the cue ball left the table and went through a concrete block wall and out onto the sidewalk. It struck a woman pushing a baby carriage, in the side of the head, knocking her cold. The baby carriage continued down a slight incline where it collided with a street vendor selling hot salted pretzels. The pretzel cart and baby carriage were completely demolished. Baby, and vendor, however, were only slightly injured.
After the lawsuits were settled Steamer Cue Sports Ltd. ceased doing business with Mr. Strickland. :nono:

should you decide to change your cue length, especially longer, you'll need to practice quite a bit.
mistakes easily happen up there.

Well all jokes aside, I started using the Balancerite Extension and I like the way it is working out. I get into issues at times with walls but not often. I even have a back extension if needed. I think its worth the investment.
