I ordered a cue much longer than I had played with, because of my height and others saying I needed it, I'm six feet six inches tall. I first talked with my local cue maker/Stroud to make sure the 3 shafts and ferrules could be reused if I chose to go back to fifty eight inch cue length. After a few years I didn't like the extra length, Billy cut back all three Zamboti shafts and it's all good. Not many players have the swing and ability to handle the longer shafts. I was surprised to see years ago, that Mizerak had Long cues, but his swing, like Earls can handle this amount of wood, and thus gave them the ability to let the cue stick do more work for them. It's very difficult I would think to have a sixty inch cue weigh in the nineteen oz range, too much wood.
