wondering how much removing a weight bolt will affect the balance point of a cue?

cue is 56" long, balance point is 40" from tip
and it weighs 18.8 oz., wood pin

I'm not sure how heavy the weight bolt is
I checked it with a magnet and guess it's
5 inches long and 1.5 inches from bumper

You posed a math problem that isn't solvable even by the greatest minds of our time.

Why?

Because there are too many unknowns.

Why don't you just unscrew it and find out?

You have to know the weight of the cue and the weight of the bolt to answer your question. However, after that it is simply physics.
Kelly Peterson of MVPCues has written a program (for purchase) that will accurately model the balance point of a cue.

thanks
I just meant to get a general idea
to figure out if it's worth it for me to send in to have the bolt removed
the thing is stuck, I can't get it out-
but if it can be safely removed
and maybe replaced by a smaller/lighter one
I would be interested in that
thanks again
