Is there a set part of the cue that is adjusted when they lengthen it or does it vary from cue maker to cuemaker? I am getting my sw order increased to 60' and just got curious about it. Thanks for the info
what part of the cue is adjusted when they increase the lenght?

Depends, most cues are 29"/29" and if you order a 59" cue most likely the cuemaker will just add an inch to the shaft, unless you specify a 29.5"/29.5" split when ordering the cue. 60" cues are almost always 30"/30" and I've never seen a 29" butt with a 31" shaft but I'm sure someone out there built one this way.

If it is a new cue the shaft and butt are usually the same length.
Thanks guys for the info. Really appreciate it.
Yes -- butt 28 3/4" + shaft 29 1/4" = 58"
Hi. That's great info guys . thanks.
Great information, glad to see someone who knew what the hell they were talking about chimed in. Definitely learned something, thank you.
Jerry Franklin worked with david kersenbrock
two really invenive and scientific minds
Jerry explained to me the reasoning in the longer shaft
it made no difference on the hit,
but the South west joint pin was long and
this allowed them to fit in the case easier
so if you want a 60 inch cue and order2inch
longer shafts it won't affect the hit and you might want to shorten the shafts later
incidentally,I had a 60 inch long SW and I loved it,but most prefer 58
so if resale is a consideration 58 is worth more as a rule
