Reposition you’re hand gripping the cue.
Wherever you held it before, move up.
Try moving your hand up a inch at a time.
You will locate a spot where it feels right.

I found the same thing worked for me.
My Joss....18.5 ounces....favorite 1-pocket cue
My Szamboti....20.25 ounces....if I held it two inches shorter, it spun like my Joss

Hey there,

I recently had to play with a different cue because I sent my main cue for refinish. Cue imo, hits spectacular but I could barely play with it due to the dense shaft.

My main cue weighs about 19.2, with 19-19.5" balance point.

But this cue weights about 18.8-19.1oz with 21-21.5" balance point.

I'm just seeking for experts/pros, if anyone knows how to get used to the cue faster. Or where I should hold the cue to get good balance. Because I get tired easily playing this cue, cause balance is too forward, it feels pretty heavy.

I'm 5"6-5"7 tall.

Thanks
Tim

Get a cheap butt made with your specs.:grin:
Heck, you'd play better with a cut-down house cue butt than that weird cue.
21" balance point at barely 19 oz ? That is so front-weighted . It probably lacks feel too.

I know any qualified builder can do it. But I was thinking of not changing anything on the cue, as drilling from the butt will lose the value of the cue. I was asking is there a way to get used to the cue?

How much space between the bumper and the weight bolt? Go to a sporting goods shop, take a peek at lead fishing line weights.
