Cue size question

Mezz Power Break II......
Funny thing is, my girl who is a pretty damn good shot likes using my Mezz PB II minus the weight rings and instead of the break shaft she uses one of my spare wd700 29 inch shafts. Fits her perfect and she's 5'2". The cue is 54 inches long and not butt heavy at all so she can grip it properly instead of all the way towards the end......

So all i keep finding are these 57"-58" cues with a wolf design on them... So looks like i might have to buy one and get it shortened. Which i am hoping wont cost a lot.
So area i live is Right by Disneyland, in Anaheim California...
Hope that helps...

cue size
In my opinion 55 is just to short unless your always on a 7 footer. I remember reading somewhere Allison Fisher uses a 56 inch cue.
I solved this problem for my grandaughter by taking a 56 " culemans carom cue and getting Mike Gulyassy to retaper the shaft to his Earl taper.
It plays darn good, in fact as good as any I own or have owned. The wood pin gives it a good feel imo.
You would have to not mind a 12mm though. Carom cues also come in 55 inch, adjustable weight bolt and can be found for less than $200 on up according to the decorations.
Ron Kilby also makes a fine cue 56" etc. and would make a shaft any diameter you want with what he calls "the similar to the southwest taper".
We are blessed with great cumakers in the USA. If you can think of it they usually can do it. Just an Idea, thanks.

Draz...Holding the cue 'where it's comfortable' is one of the myths/misconceptions of pool. You hold the cue, where your forearm drops directly under your elbow, with the tip touching the CB. My wife is 5' even, and plays with a 58" cue.
