Earl Strickland, Shane Van Boening, Stevie Moor and Steve Mizerak, all are champions. They all have one other factor in common. They all play or played with extra long cues!!!
Earl's long cue about (70"). Shane's long cue (65"). Stevie's long cue about (70"). Mizerak (in one of his book on pool he stated he used a (36") shaft) if I remembered correctly. That would have made his cue (65") long.

Stevie's long cue:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eFiUI7oufo
I've been playing 14.1 with a (70") cue for about a month. It's a whole new ball game.
It changes the shot making and cue ball control in a dramatic way to the positive.
The longer cue seem to slow down my stroke and make speed control and cue ball positioning very more predictable. Also, dealing with longer shot making seems effortless. I added (21) ball to my high run score.
If you're interested, I applied something I heard John Schmidt say in a youtube video.
I did what he did, I slipped a (15") extension wand from my Eureka Vacuum onto my (58") cue. This added just under (12") to the length and (4oz) to the weight. I stuffed some bubble wrap into the end of the wand to kill the sound.
When asked about his extra long cue, after a match Earl said "......I know stuff about this game that the average pro will never comprehend.....".
Try it. It transforms your cue into a "MAGIC WAND"
