Adding weight to a Meucci

[Art Amato]

I have an 18 oz Meucci cue that I absolutely love the feel of. I've had it for a few years now and feel that my game has elevated and that I would be more accurate on the long straight in shots with a heavier, say 19.5 or 20 ounce cue.

Question 1. Can weight be added to this cue in the hollowed part of the butt.

Question 2 . Am I correct in my assumption of the increased accuracy I will gain on the long straight in shot?

Yes you can add weight. Is it an oddball cue or does it have a model number? The weights of an oddball cue is different than the cues with a model number.

The only way to be more accurate is to practice. :wink:

If you love the feel, why do you want to change? My game got better over the years, partly because I gradually moved to lighter cues...from a 21 oz. in 1968 to just over 18 now...

Question 1: yup.
Question 2: You can put a 15 oz cue in the hands of any pro and they'll drill in long straight shots just the same as always. Long straight shots are 100% about having a straight stroke, which cannot be purchased.

If your stick is wobbling or steering as you drive it forward, focus on figuring out where the wobble comes from and fixing it. It may be something as simple as how tightly you grip or your foot position.
