thanks for the comments when i talked to bill he told me this cue was the noraml wieght for guys back in the day he said 18 to 19 ozs cues where not even consider players when he used to play 20 years ago
Very true...before the new Simonis, etc fast cloths, it took a pretty good stroke to move the rock around the table. The heavier cues did a little of the work for you.
I don't know how many of you "older" players like me remember the barboxes with the old rubber-backed worsted cloth and the real heavy "mud-ball" cue balls...they were a b*tch to move, and you needed all the help you could get.
