How tall are you & how long is your cue

[sticky]

i'm looking in to geting a new cue but dont know want size to get so it would
be a grate help not just for me but any one looking for info on this subject if you could put down your hight and cue size

no pun intended

[Erwan_BZH]

I'm roughly 6'1 and my cue's length is 58".

Basically, the ideal length is the distance between the floor and you shoulder.

[legod]

I'm 1.89m tall (about 6 feet 2 inches). Cue is a 59", 19oz Mastercue PB1.

[cueman]

About 5' 10" and cue is 56.75 inches long. was 57 but a new ferrule meant I lost about 1/4 inch but its fine for me.

[gavhay]

I am 5"10 and my cue is 58 inches long

[Cue_147]

5'11 - 6' - Cue 57.5

[Welshsteve]

I'm a modest (short ;)) 5'8" and my cue is 57" long. I have a 9 inch smart extender and a pop on telescopic extension to help me :D:D

[excellentrocket]

5'5/6"" my cue is 56" long but when bridging the normal distance i find myself holding the butt 2" up the cue so idealy the cue lengh for me should be 54" but got that 2" for power shots

Sorry to go off-topic, but on my screen's size settings the heading was:

"How tall are you and how long is ..."

I couldn't help wondering what the next word was, and now I find it's a borin thread about snooker – how original!

I am 6 foot 5 and my cue is 58 inches long which is a bit too short really for me.

[SomeCueist]

I'm 6' 1" and use a 58" cue at the moment which is barely long enough, particularly for power. I've ordered a 59" cue which should be about right.

Used to have a 57" cue which I got rid of as my hand was falling off the butt end (one or two fingers were holding thin air). Amazing how much difference an inch can make (said the actress to the bishop).

Hi there, i have just joined here today, my cue is 57.5 and i am also 5'11.

i bet your bridge hand must be close to the white as well

[SomeCueist]

It would be, but holding the cue very near the butt is the way that I avoid this.

[Watford]

I'm 6' and have a 58" cue!
I used to have a 57" years ago and liked holding it right at the end so almost went for another but stuck with 58" in end!

[H.I.F.L]

I'm 5'4" (that's 163 cm for Asians who are reading this ;)) and I am using a 58" cue. For normal shots I would have 4' of butt sticking out and for some 'stretch shots' I would hold the cue with nothing but my 2 forefingers and thumb (hate using rests :p). Many have said my cue is way too long for me but I feel that as long you got a good balance, firm bridge and steady cue action and a good stance, you will pot good. I'm breaking an average of 35 and most of the time beats those who comment on how short my cue should be :cool:. It's how you play it guys!

[paulbur]

im 5'9'' and my cue is 57.75'' long.

[MasterBreak147]

6-2 tall and my cue is 58. 1/2

[RGCirencester]

See previous post :p

[Matan]

I'm about 5'4 and I dont have a cue yet, not sure what size I need, 55 feels comfortable.

[Wimm]

5'9", new cue is going to be 58.26 inches

[trigger666]

im 6 foot 1" and mine is 57.75

[ChatLag]

171cm and mine is 57"

[snookerfan92]

I'm 5 foot 9, and my cue is 5 foot tall exactly.

[jeffrey]

173cm and 56.5"

[goshow]

6'3" and I use a 58.75" TW. I did play with a 58" JP but the TW is a far better length.

I bet I can help you with that mate!

[Asi]

About 5 feet 10 inches (179cm )- my cue is 57.87" (147cm)

[snookerloopy_08]

I'm 5' 8" and my cue is 57"

[moglet]

I'm just a tad over 6 foot, cue 57 3/4".

To Sticky, the OP, not quite so simple. Our heights only give a guide, two people can be the same height but one longer and the other shorter in the arm.

Hehe!, unfortunately I rarely get excited enough, willing spirit and all, these days to make the measurement worthwhile. ;);)

[DandyA]

at the risk of not answering the question (which seemd to rile the great Mike Wooldridge when I did it on his thread yesterday) ...

surely the important point is the forearm should ideally be vertical at the address position (ie cue tip close to the cue-ball) ...

good general advice is standing upright, the cue should come up to your shoulders but that is not the end of the matter since everyone's arm length, leg and torso length and stance are different ...

my advice would be just to look in a mirror at home (no snooker table) and work out how far up the cue you should hold it ...

btw, I'm 6' 1" using a 57.5" cue and as part of my routine for the shot, I try to remember to check I'm holding it an inch or so from the end ... but I don't get my bridge arm totally straight and I guess I generally bridge 9" from the white ... if my bridge arm was straighter or my bridge longer, 57.5" would be too short I guess ...

[willytan]

I m 5' 7"(174cm), i m using a 56" cue.

It very much depends on the distance btw ur bridge hand and the object ball. I usually keep it btw 12" thus the short cue i gas.

I played really well with my old parris which was 55.7" when i started to switch btw my custom made and my old playing cue.

Lenght does matter!!!

[cdavies150]

I am 5.9-5.10 and my cue is 57"

[garythenab]

I'm 5 10 and the length of my stick is my buisness:D

[mikey2112]

I'm 5' 9" and my cue is 57.5". I hold it right at the end with my pinky against the very end of the butt.

I tried a longer cue but didn't feel comfortable and still wanted to hold the very end of it.

Maybe my arms are just too long :D

[gettingbetter]

6'1"-6'2", I've ordered a cue that is 59" long. Using a 58" now.

[snooker warrior]

I'm 5 foot 9, and my cue is 5 foot tall exactly.

your 5ft 9 and your cue is 60inches ?????

i am 6ft 2" and my cue is 59" 1/4 " but i play with a very straight bridge arm

[samad]

i'm 173cms and i got a 58" mastercue

[kcohentan]

hiya,

I'm 170cms and my cue is 57.5" length. Normal shots I probably have about 3 inches or so from the butt, my old cue was 57" and it felt great as I could consistently place my grip over the flat of the cue as a reference point. :)

[thai_son22]
