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.​

Raschig (a German plastic company) made pool, snooker and carom balls for maybe 10 to 20 years, ending about 1995. They were said to be very accurate. They now are very collectible.

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

Thanks, I have a Kamui soft on a cue and like it and just decided to go that direction. So . . . was on the fence about the colors and kept coming back to the NBN all black, just in case got the weight kit and it was discounted a little, Prime II and I'll have a black leather wrap - never done that before but I've gone back and forth over trying that and decided to pull the trigger (also have a little bit of an issue gripping too far back and that will be a reminder, I guess). I'm very interested to get acquainted with it if it gets here before Xmas and I think it has a chance, otherwise between Xmas and New Year's I have some family time/time as well - good time to hang out at my table. Merry Christmas to me, haha.
