So let's say on a 19oz cue, you prefer a 3.99 to 4.18oz on the shaft.
and the ideal range is 3.42 to 4.37oz shaft.
Interesting. Just from experience in weighing shafts it sounds reasonable.
I prefer between 3.6 to less than 4.0 I think.
Hell, I'm not even sure. But this math is pretty granular. I don't think I could tell the difference between 3.99 and 4.18.
You might not but you sure as heck would if the shafts were 3.5 oz shaft vs. 4.1 oz shaft.
People give me a bunch of crap about this but they have no rebuttal for a irrefutable fact.
The history of pool cues made by the very best names in cue making through the years
and contemporaneously speaking, adhered to this approach building their pool cues.
I’m not fabricating this and it isn’t some coincidence either because it extends for decades
of cue making. Just do the research or talk with talented cue makers. It isn’t written down.
Cue makers learn quickly what works best or were taught this like Burton did with Joel when
he taught him the craft of custom cue building. Cue makers emulate what works the best.
So if anyone is having a cue built, talk with your cue maker about matching your shafts to
fall within this ratio. Don’t be surprised if your shafts were already going to be built this way.
