how long should a cue be to reach most shots on 9 ft.?

[hang-the-9]

It's like the answer Abe Lincoln (probably not really him) gave when asked how long a man's legs should be?

Long enough to reach the ground.

I don't think an extra inch or two is going to make or break reachability for someone struggling. Short arm guys need to master the bridge.

Well if you are just shy of an inch or two of reach, it will certainly help LOL There was a commentary on a bank shot that Dileberto said won't double kiss and it did not, but it was close. His co-commentator said "well yea it missed the double kiss but just barely" and Danny replied, "that's all you need to miss it by". So if you are just a few inches short on some shots, those few inches are super important.
