Playing a guy and he puts a 6" extensoon on his cue to reach a shot. No big deal.
I leave him real long and he takes a 2nd butt and screws it into his cue as a extension.
Wtfjh?
I know anything goes gambling, what about bca?

Equipment is to be used as it's intended purpose. If he had a longer extension (2nd butt), then it's perfectly legal. Now if he somehow screwed another cue butt into the cue butt on his playing cue, I would say that it is illegal.
 
I don't think there is a length limit in any rule set. The minimum is 41" inches though.
 
I just bought my first 8foot cue. I plan on using it for those rail shots on the other end of the table.

Yea. I just got a 16 foot cue. I plan on playing two people at once. I'll be able to reach both tables. :/

I will need some strap on magnifying googles to flip up and down as needed.
 
I have a extension that is about 3 feet long. It is one piece. It is perfectly legal. Not seeing how having two extension would somehow make it illegal.

The minimum length is 40" (both WPA and BCAPL), and you are correct about there being no maximum length.

However, the weight maximum is 25 oz. (no minimum). Though I find nothing about it in the rules, I imagine the weight of an extension should be included.

Incidentally, why do the specs include an upper limit on the weight of a cue? What advantage would I gain from using a 3-pound cue?
 
If I take my snooker cue, add the mini butt and the fully extended telescopic extension, it works out to about 91".

I'm thinking of adding a rear view mirror extending beyond the tip and object ball to assist aiming. :grin:

I have had to use the long snooker cue on a 9' table ... how embarrasing .... and dangerous as I had to haul the thing across the hall :o

Dave <--- about 1/2 as tall as the long snooker cue

Some amateurs like finding the heaviest break stick they can find. I have met a guy with a 30oz cue once. His break was bad...
