Do you like forward or rear balanced cues?

Black Blade Carbon cues sells balance points not at your 19 inches but some at 29 inches. I have not had a chance to try one. Generally, players don't like them but someone is buying them. See AZ discussion here and reviews at the company's website. Here is one owner's comments:

I believe not holding the weight of the cue with my back hand has slowed my backswing which helps me to stay in line on the shot. You are effectively pulling the weight backward which seems to really aid in this. I am currently playing with a soon to be released variable weight shaft at 9.66oz so with the 9oz butt, I am at an 18.66oz cue. When compared to competitors 19oz cue with a carbon shaft and traditionally balanced, I swing the Black Blade Carbon Cue slower to get the same distance of cue ball travel. This once again is a "feel" thing but being able to swing slower and get more is a win in my book. I really like the ability to adjust weight for table sizes and cloth age.​

This was easily one of the worst feeling cues I've ever tried. Totally dead and the crazy forward weight felt so weirdly unbalanced.

Not sure who's buying them, but I've never heard a good review yet!

When I hold an assembled cue in my hand I prefer a neutral balance - that is, not feeling the cue to be heavier at either end.
For me, a cue swings more smoothly if it does not feel pushed( rear balance) or pulled( by a forward balance).
My Richard Black cue has the best neutral balance of any of more than a hundred or more owned cues .

if the weight is behind your hand(rear balanced) arent you pulling?
if the weight is in front of your hand(forward balanced) arent you pushing?

How much clearance?

muskyed
Quick question, got my Tomahawk material today to replace the vault plate on my Rhino carbon shaft I chipped. I'm going to insert it in the shaft somewhere between .4 and .5 inches. The Rhino one was .3". I probably will hollow it out a bit till a bit before where it sticks out from the shaft.
Anyway, what would be a good clearance for the vault diameter of the plug portion that sticks in the shaft, vs the hole in the shaft, for the epoxy? So, say my hole is .415, would I make the vault plug portion .414 or .413 ?

Good morning. My name is Lester Petracca and i am a titlist collector. i was recently contacted by a gentleman who said he has a Luther Lassiter cue for sale. I would like to speak with the family before considering purchasing the cue. Does anyone know how i could get in touch with any one of his family. Thank you.

I think you'd have better luck posting this in the main forum, or have the mods move it over there for you. Good luck.
