Hoppe, not Mosconi? If you do mean Hoppe, you might better ask in the 3-Cushion forum.

Just from what I know of Carom's at the time, since nobody else has said anything, 19 to 20 ounces was the norm for the carom champions of the time.

You need to get his book, "Billiards As It Should Be Played." He said 19 1/2 to 19 3/4 ounces and recommended weights between 18 and 20. He also used cues that were 54 or 55 inches long.

Thanks Bob and to those who replied, I will try get his book.
