When considering buying a new pool stick, you need to put into consideration the length of the stick. The standard for a one-piece cue is 57 inches and 58 inches for the two pieces stick.  However, if you are taller than 6’5”, you might need an extension to your cue or special-request your desired length. If you are below the average height, it is better to go for shorter cues between 48 inches and 52 inches.
