I've heard some conflicting opinions on cue weight. I recently bought a Predator Roadline cue which is very, very light. Not sure what the weight is but probably just shy of 18oz....
I'm used to playing with a 18.75 to 19oz cue mostly. This new cue feels amazing and after two weeks I'm shooting well with it. I just won an 8ball qualifier to qualify for regionals and lost in the semifinal in 9ball...point there is I'm shooting well enough with this very light cue to do that after having it for less than two weeks....
So, do most higher level players play with lighter cue? This is what I've heard but someone said to me "man, this cue is just too light" and said I should add weight. Why should I add weight when I shoot well with it? I have weight bolts for it so I decided to add an ounce and half....I did not like it. Took weight bolt out and ran a rack completely out...
So, what's wrong with light?
Thanks
