Break Stick

why?
Just wondering...Why do you want one sooo heavy? In my experience on the break, speed is what gets the balls moving more than the weight of a cue. Again, in my opinion, you're better off with a lighter cue...Around 19oz

Read the original post.
I do not want one. I have a 18oz J&J break stick. A friend of mine saw a 27oz break stick and got keyed in. He is new to pool but thought the heavier the stick the more power in the break. I tried talking him out of it, but it's his money! Your right the speed of the stroke emits the power not the weight.

yep
OK, when I said "why do you want one...I meant why do you want one for your friend? I understand its his money, but personally, if I knew something would be better suited for doing a certain task, I'd try talking my friend into the better product and wouldn't help him throw away his $$. Maybe this is only me that would do this, but in my opinion, its the right thing to do.

I read it, thanks.
Yea, it look like he has his heart set on a new Elite. I don't know why he wants a break stick because when we play he will never get to use it. Unless he's good on calling the flip!!
Thanks for everyone's input. It was greatly appreciated.
