I don't think an inquiry about whether the weight of the butt of the cue can be lowered is stupid at all.
After all, at 16.98 oz., this cue has a Serena Williams butt!
It really is beautiful, though.
I'm wondering why the question was never answered? Was it done by PM?
Perhaps the weight can't be lowered, due to Cocobolo being a fairly dense wood? If that is the case, I'm sure the butt could be cored out in order to make lighter.
The figure near the butt cap almost looks like Macassar ebony.
