Changing a cue's weight

[socks]

Taking a half oz off he cue's weight and moving the balance pt foward 1/2 to 1 inch would actually be ideal for me, I think. But soldering irons? Yikes.

But yeah the other option is to just suck it up and get used to it. I used the same cue for 11 years; it was like an extension of my right arm. Wanting something new, I gave it to a friend and got a new one. It was awkward at first but after 4 months I was so used to the new one that when I played with my old cue one day I hated it with a passion.

This cue I've had like 2 weeks. So yeah, maybe time is the key...

If I do decide to get it worked on I'll just find a local guy. Although from what I can tell there's only two cuemakers in Vegas, one of them has a 9 year waiting list and the other one is hard to get a hold of.

if your in vegas, you have it easier than anyone else. just wait for one of the nationals to come through, BCA, ACS, TAP, APA, whatever, there are often repair guys set up doing repairs on site. i know June 7-14 Brian Fisher of fisher cues, http://www.fishercues.com/ is going to be there for ACS doing sales and repairs... and BCA is like next week or something, My 9-17. just hit up the riviera.

I like my McDermott a lot more since removing the weight bolt altogether. I always thought it was butt-heavy and taking out the weight bolt has improved where the center of balance is, at least in terms that it feels more comfortable stroking.
