30" shaft

[Runnintable]

Has anyone seen benefits from going from 29" to 30" shaft length. I am considering a purchase of new shaft and have that option.
would be coupled to a standard length butt that is approximately 29".

I kind of like it. There may be edge cases where you can get away with not using a bridge with the extra inch. It's not a very big adjustment to get used to 30". I think a lot of the reason for the extra inch is weight. Kielwood for example is a bit lighter and the extra inch helps with balance.

I don't really see any downside going to 30" other than making sure it fits in your case, if you're curious about them I say go for it as there's not really any downside that I can see.

No benefit unless you like playing with it. I used a 30 for a while and went back to 29. Until you get use to a 30 you might touch the cue ball when addressing it.
Try one. Can always be cut down and re-tapered

With the right taper and ferrule, I'd go 30 in a heartbeat.

I only use 60” cues(30/30) and the way my stance is a lot of times I could use longer. The main benefit is reach…

I have a 58" with a 3" mid cue as my daily. I also have 2 custom 32" shafts that I absolutely love, but try not to play them often. Otherwise the 32" kielwood would get top billing as my daily. Wouldn't need the extension.

I have a 30" Tiger Fortis shaft coming to pair with my Tiger cue. will give it a go.
