Do you like forward or rear balanced cues?

HawaiianEye
How do you like your cues balanced and why?

I prefer somewhere around 18-19" from the butt.

That fits my wingspan best and feels balanced when I am in my normal stance over the table.

Most of my cues are somewhere within that range.

Here are a few showing the differences in balance points (marked with tape).

The cues are different weights but the balance points are about the same.

The top cue is 57" (made in May 1973) and the rest are 58".

Panthera vs Jacoby

I was never a fan of predator butts. But recently I tried a friend's 4000+ Panthera and it’s a great cue for sure. It figures since it’s not actually made by Pred :) Are lower price Jacoby cues comparable in terms of construction, weight and balance?

I have 2 Jacobys, both slightly under $900. They are fantastic cues. I have their Ultra shaft and their Kielwood shaft for them. Also have a Rhino carbon shaft and a new Rhino carbon Must shaft. Right now I am using their Kielwood shaft, and my wife uses the Rhino shaft.
I'm not going to say they are better than my Schon's, but they are also not worse. You don't need to spend over a thousand dollars for a great playing cue, these 2 Jacobys will play just as good as their $4000 ones.
They are the 4th and 5th from the right.
Two great cue makers.

Question about Jose Parica

gopi-1
Somebody here was asking if Parica’s family was well off. His dad was a cop, it’s a toss-up about his family’s wealth. I know this for a fact because they live a few blocks from where I reside. I’ve watched Jose play using a Coke case to propped him up on his shots. He was a reed thin 5 foot boy, about 12/13 years when he and his dad were hustling the shortstops in all of the seedy pool halls back home.

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

Sounds good, thanks.

Was just wondering if anyone had experience with the Kamui on the Becue since those are offered and in different types, including SS. If the carbon fiber doesn't change feel or performance in some way then I'm likely going medium or soft on a Prime II but all insights most welcome!

I have not put a Kamui on the Becue, but I played with Kamui black hard for years. In my personal experience, a given tip has performed the same for me on wood, CF and Kielwood shafts.
