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.
