Common Questions About Long Pool Cues

Players around 6'2" and taller often find a longer cue more comfortable, because their backhand can sit in a natural position without choking up. Players with a long wingspan or a wide stance may prefer one too. Use our pool cue length by height guide to confirm your size.

A longer cue adds reach and moves the balance point back, so it can feel different for the first few sessions. Try gripping slightly farther back than you would on a standard cue. The extra length also helps on long shots across the table without needing a cue extension.

Every cue in this collection offers a 30-inch butt or 30-inch shaft option, compared with the 29-inch components in a standard 58-inch cue. Choose your design, click Customize, and select the 30-inch component for a 59- or 60-inch cue. For more reach without a new cue, add a cue extension.
