Find myself really liking the weight of poolhall cues, what weight are they usually?

How long is a piece of string?
Most house cues will have a weight stamped on them, somewhere near or a little above the points.
18, 19, 20.
The sad thing about my poolroom is that they have cheap house cues that no longer have solid wood. they have some kind of cheap wood with a weight bolt and when you go to grab a 20 oz cue you find that the innards have fallen out and its more like 17 oz.

18-21 seems to be the range on modern cues
sometimes I find an older one that's lighter than 18
rarely heavier
also, the balance point will affect how heavy a cue feels
most house cues I've checked have more rear-weighted balance points
there is a 19 locally that I like, because the balance point is more forward
anyway, why not find out for sure
especially if you like it
bring a postal scale with you to the 'hall
calipers, a measuring tape
do it right..and get all the best looks:thumbup:

Cheap House Cue
I found one of those kind of cues once, it did weigh 17 ounces & the tip was about 12.5. The maple part was nice, so I kept it around.
It was a great cue to play with, so it's in my rack, here at home, for others to play with, when they come over. If it had a real wood back part, I might have made it a 2 piece Cue.

Most house cues I have come across are 18-21 oz range. As others have said their weight is usually stamped on them.
