Longer shaft

[TheBigLebowski]

I've had a problem as of late in changing my stroke a bit.
I've lengthened my stroke to where it's very comfortable and it works well for me. I'm 6'3" and when I'm down on a shot, I seem to run out of cue. Is this a problem taller players face? Is there a longer shaft that you can buy? Does Predator make a shft 1 or 2 inches longer? Thanks for any input.

Hey Big,
I'd post this in Shawn Putnams "Ask the Pros" section. He's pretty tall and can give you some good info.

Regarding Predator, I have a 30" one so they make at least that length.

longer shaft..

I was having the same problem where I felt like I was just running out of cue so I tried a longer cue and it's helped quite a bit. I mean.. I still suck at pool but I'm more comfortable at it now.

Definitely give a longer shaft a try. Good luck.

Yes, anyone who wears a 34 - 35 shirt sleeve needs a longer cue. I would recommend just looking for a 60" cue. It will take the handcuffs off your stroke. You want to play with a cue that puts your grip hand somewhere on the wrap area.

the pred 314 comes up to 31 inches i think, and i believe you can get the z shaft up to 32 inches.........or maybe its 30 and 31.......i know cuz i looked into for myself just a few months ago, and i do remember you could get the z shaft an inch longer than the 314. If you do it post back or pm me and let me know what you think.......im pretty close to doing it myself but im just not sure i need it, im 6 4". Im waiting until i get thru pool school before i make any changes to my equipment.
