The whole purpose of aiming from above the cue is you can sight down the shaft of the cue. This provides a line by which to aim with. The lower you get to the shaft, the shorter and more distorted the line would appear to the eye. You'd have less by which to aim with.
If anything, you would benefit from a longer cue, say 67 inches and you could have a 18 inch bridge by which to aim.
Seems that way to me, Usually, when I get down too far, and part the hair on My chin

, I am in a sort of defensive mode/stance, and out of My natural stance, and more then likely in trouble. I know shooters that play great like though, and i have at times, but just not My natural style of aiming overall.
Speaking of a longer cue. I was talking with a gentleman the other night at a match, I met him, and have ran into a few times this year. We were talking, I brought the subject of building myself a longer cue, and he said He had several long customs, 1 of them was 65 inch, and he told Me it plays like a dream, and a longer cue would probably solve a few of the issues I mentioned to him. He invited me over to shoot sometime on his nine, and try out a few of his cues, to get idea's from. This fellow was a firm believer in them, and strongly suggested I try It. The guy is quite a bit taller then Me, but we have about the same reach.
He seems like a nice guy, shoots a pretty good stik, and seems pretty knowledgable, so might take him up on the offer sometime, to see what a cue that long feels like. I'm sure I can deal with less though, might be alittle more then I'm looking for, but he said he had several others in between 60 -65 inch to shoot with also.
