When I was young, it was suggested to me to begin playing with a heavier cue, like 20 or 21 oz. Reason was that the cue would do most of the work, and the stroke would be straighter.
So, I did. Now, I don’t know if I had a good stroke to begin with or if the heavier cue helped. I’ve taken lessons off and on since the late 60s when I was in my teens until the mid-90s when I moved to Corporate America for real money. Every instructor always wanted to see me hit some balls first, and to a man, they all complimented my stroke.
I play with 20.25 and 20.5 oz cues now. (Just beginning again.)
