Why are some players using cue extensions for shots they don’t need to reach?

[Fatboy]

Yeah. We peaked in the eighties and have gotten shorter.

But we are fatter!

Guy I know uses extension to add weight, and change balance.

Yes, that's why I use a 4 inch extension on my Cue. It actually puts my elbow in a better location & gives me a better feeling stroke.
