Besides the size of a woman player (usually smaller than a man). Why don’t men(especially shorter ones) use the chin on the cue method?
Why do only women use chin on cue stick method?

I use it or at least I try to get that low on every shot. It's the only way to play as far as I'm concerned.
Because the hairs of my beard get caught in the cue joint.
I'm fairly hairless so no problem for me!! I must be a woman.
Yeah, but take a GOOD look at Alex. Longer hair and a little make-up, and he'd be a darn purty women
. Look at those abs, very lady-like !!!Maniac
Maniac,
I have to totally agree with the long hair and make-up statement.

Speaking from personal experience, I know I don't bend the same way a woman can. (There have been a few I have met who could AMAZE you). Their physical make up is different from men, and I think it's great!
But it may just be a little bit easier, and therefore more comfortable for females to shoot that way than it is for men. I seem to remember years ago something about standing behind a chair, bending over and trying to lift the chair. Men couldn't do it, but women could. Something to do with weight distribution I think.
Anyway, that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it!
(until someone comes up with a better theory)

I must be a woman then.
me too.....
I do too. (keep my chin against the cue) Im 5'11" and I have a 77" wingspan...
Problem...
with that wingspan at times when you have a long(er) bridge during the "back swing" of a fairly common pendulum stroke your back hand goes upward... bringing ur cue upward slightly... if your chin is very close or on the cue... it can restrict or change the dynamic of a fluid stroke... Id imagine for taller people or people with long wings spans/ strokes... this could be a reason for hovering above the shaft slightly... on many occations attempting to keep my body absolutely stationary and stoking the ball (usually a hard stroke) I have hit my cue into my chin hard enough that I noticed it....

And, here I though it had to do with the two chest weights that help pull the whole upper body down under the force of gravity. This is coupled to the natural ability to bend the legs farther forward than men, and one thing leads to another....

I don't know exactly how tall he is, but I know that Shawn Putnam is over 6'1 and he rests his chin on his cue.
