Any help identifying this cue

You right, it’s certainly not a Titlist, it’s missing the Orange Veneer. The dam thing has the characteristics of a number of cue makers, but I would bet it’s a Rich Q.

It's also missing the purple outer veneer. In all the years that Titlist's were made, the purple dye was available. There was a problem with it about 1990, unavailable. Probably caused cancer. It was brought back though. You can have a cuemaker do Titlist veneer colors today.

Take all of the weight out of your break cue

18.5 oz is what I have. Most hard breaks are between 17-21mph. I've tried various weights, super light is not my thing.

My friend Ron was clocked at 26mph at SBE, I believe the formula is mass × speed = force, you can improve your break force by adding weight if you don't have good break speed.

How about just putting it back in Chesapeake Virginia where it started, and where it always was before they bought the rights and moved it to Vegas, then A/C?

Chesapeake has a great convention center, good hotels conveniently close, plenty of restaurants in the area, as well as Q-Masters nearby for all the action that was always prevalent the week of the Open.

I was thinking the same thing. It will never be as good as it was in Chesapeake. They can try vegas,atlantic city,or a texas casino but the tradition started in Chesapeake and there was always great action at Qmasters. Just pool.

I didn't like it (or the thought of it) light either. After a year or so hitting with my PBkai/Ignite shaft, and regularly telling people who suggested to remove it that "I don't mess with cues, I work on my action"

It wasn't that I hit them poorly. WPA/MR 9ball, 8ball, 10ball. All solid. I am actually thinking at this point that playing with the weight in was a useful muscle memory training. I was able to hit the 26/27mph mark previously with weight in, and I will measure max speed later out of interest (as I rarely break full tilt in any format).

My friend took it out while I went to get a coffee yesterday as a joke. I came back and was blasting racks of WPA 9ball. made 6balls on the break twice. Was also nice nostalgic feeling for me, reminded me of when me and my friends would turn each others trucks the opposite way round when leaving skateboards unattended at my local skate store growing up haha

If I had a 27mph break I would remove some weight too, I have a paltry 14 maybe 15mph break, the only way I'm going to gain more force is by keeping my 24 1/2 oz break cue, there are many ways to make your cue work for YOU.
