30" shaft

[III_BALL]

I can get a 30" OB Classic shaft for no additional cost. Is the extra inch worth getting or should I stick with a 29" standard? How is the performance of a 30" shaft? I searched up other threads, but I still can't make my mind up.

I've always been told it's better to have one too long than too short. I play with a 30" shaft and I like it better than a 29". I like longer cues over the short ones, but that's just personal preference. Stick with what you know works for you unless you want to try something different.

An inch doesn't change playability that much I don't think, but it definitely comes in handy quite a bit when you are stretching and reaching.

Just my opinion, if you are 5' 8" or over you will likely enjoy the extra inch.

I like the extra inch my Z-2 gives me. After all, its a game of inches.

It's all personal preference!! I play 30"!

Just my opinion, if you are 5' 8" or over you will likely enjoy the extra inch.

The 30" works for me, not sure I could go back to a 29". As some else said if your tall
it will make a difference.

Just my opinion, if you are 5' 8" or over you will likely enjoy the extra inch.

... And if you are under 5' 8", the extra length helps to reach a few more shots without the mechanical bridge. :thumbup:

I play with a 30+30 because.... why not?

Who said 58" was the perfect length?

It will probably change the balance of the cue an take time getting use too. But I heard a lot of people say its worth it.
