Wondering where you found a BR extension that fit a Schon cue? All that I've seen say they don't work with Schon's cues (even though they say they fit a 5/16 x 14 joint). Where did you order yours?
Thanks!
Shane Van Boening playing with extension why??

Thanks!
Me no understand
Him why no ask Shane?
Why him ask we?
How we know?
Now this is funny!
I have a cue extension (mid) for my carom cue. Its slightly shorter cue than the normal pocket cue, plus the carom tables are 5x10, so I have to reach more. I dont like the end of cue extension because most are solid wood. Some are the tube sleeve, and the butt grip. I dont like those either. They throw the balance off. The middle extension doesn't shift it greatly because its closer than the end extensions. I would like to get longer shafts, but wonder why manufacturers arent making them longer than 30 inches as an alternative. I think thats a niche market that they should profit from!! I'd rather buy a longer shaft. I know it my not fit in my case, but They can always make larger cases too.
Did any of you guys that use the Balance Right extension notice if it changes the hit or feedback of the cue???
Honestly don't recall where I got it from, sure it probably was one of the major suppliers, Ozone, Pooldawg et al. Fits my Schon CX83 fine.
I use an Extension all the time ... The Wife just loves it (all those *****ly thingies on the end).
My friend Lee Brett, the pool instructor, pointed out to me that you get more action the further back you bridge the cue, so more cue is coming off your bridge hand. Once he told me that I noticed a lot of players, especially the Europeans, do that (Jayson Shaw doesn't!) So if you're tall it's hard to do it without an extension, you're literally holding the butt of the cue.
Absolutely.
Anyone reading this thinking about a balance rite, read this thread with video....

If you read through, there are some members here who make perfect mid extensions. Contact info is towards the end of the thread.
Actually, Strickland was possessed by an pool alien for a long time. That's why he looked glummer and glummer each year, and got more angry each time.
Now it has grown and multiplied and due to the fact that van Boening and Strickland were playing the Mosconi and other matches so closely together the pool aliens offspring jumped over to van Boening.
Is has now started controlling vBs brains and will continue to grow ...

No question. That's simply physics. However, the further you bridge back on your cue the more likely it will be that you miss the spot on the cue ball you are aiming for imparting unwanted nasties like spin, throw swerve etc.
I think you get more action with a longer bridge simply because it gives you more time/distance to build up to a higher cue speed than is possible with a shorter bridge. Is that the physics you were referring to or did you have something else in mind?
Mass, speed, force. Mr Newton would concur.
Im confused by all of it.
people buy a cue from a big name maker that plays lights out!
First thing they do is put on a LD shaft , number 2 , stick a 30.00 extension right in the middle of it straight out of a box.
Now you have a Frankenstein cue.
No balance , no feel.
Might as well buy a one piece cue , hack it in half , put a pin in it and save 5000.00

Just so you know, that is a myth. Once the CB leaves the tip (in 1/1000th of a second) the physics part of the equation is over. How you 'finish' your swing is up to you, but extended followthrough does not give you anything extra, as far as the outcome of the shot is concerned. The truth is that people may like extensions on their cues (whether it's at the joint, or the end of the cue), but there were many very tall champion players before the advent of the longer cues. It's mostly psychological...but if it makes you "feel" like you play better, then by all means utilize it.

It's not a myth. It's just not the whole picture. The truth is that with a longer bridge you do get more action on the cue ball. It's plain outright fact that it's supported through physics equations. What you fail to grasp is that with a longer bridge most, not all, but most people do not properly stroke a cue ball to achieve the benefits of that bridge length. And I'd wager to say that regardless of bridge length, most people just so not stroke correctly. Which is why you have positioned your opinion as such. But where you're wrong at is this contact time. A truly properly stroked shot has a contact time that is 2-3x longer than a cue ball that is just struck with no meaningful intention. It's the same thing as hearing someone give you advice "you gotta dig into the cue ball."
There's more I could say, but I think it might off track the topic. If you wanna discuss it, you can pm me.
shares record with a standard length cue is unbelievable. after watching him play with the extended cue it seems his misses are much worst not rattling the pocket but missing the pocket completely. i believe the engineering characteristics built into the standard length cue change with longer length, weight, and balance. he seems to do alright with straight ins but sometimes misses badly with english. other have tried the extensions but go back.
