Hi,

What would be the likely weight of cue with a BRW forearm and buttsleeve with BEM handle. Pin type is 3/8 x 10. This won't be cored. The reason i am asking is because i prefer a cue not more than 19 oz. Is my preferred weight can be achieved without coring.

Looking for opinion here. Many thanks in advance

Why not ask the guy who is going to make it?

I did, he said it could be around 19 or more. Just want to hear from some cuemaker out here.

His cues must be fat or he's using a heavy metal stud to join the forearm to the handle.
That butt should get down to 15 oz easily ( add the shaft for total weight ) if he doesn't use metal stud and use G10 or titanium 3/8 10 joint screw.

Thanks Joey, just want to make sure it can be done.

This cue is not cored.

IIRC, I brought it in at 19oz or maybe a little under.
It can be done even with a stainless big pin.

Very nice cue indeed. Is having 6 points, say hi-low will affect the hit?
