Hmm...I always thought an even weight distrubution was the most important thing in a cue. I've had several cues with different balance points, and it didn't impact my playing much. But I had a cue that had a huge weight bolt in it, because the rest was so light. That was very distracting. So I guess if you wanted to add weight without messing up the weight distribution you could spiral some lead tape the lenght of the cue.
If you wanted the weight forward, you could add some washers at the joint, maybe. May have to go heavier than you allready tried. I would be better to have your cue repairman add some weight to the shaft, though.
I've said it before, and as time goes on
I only feel more confident that for *me*
(and I do suspect others, even if they don't know it)
weight distribution is the single most important cue aspect
I've done some research at home that's telling me that
regardless of cue weight or length
if the cue is balanced a certain way
I can play the way I like
I've got some other ideas and numbers on this
but for now
so I got this billiards cue- I like it but I bought it on the net (cheap tho)
and of course as soon as I got it, I realized it wasn't going to work balance-wise
I tried to sell it (60 shipped if anybody wants- haven't chalked it) with no luck
said screw it (literally, wood joint too) and am trying to see if it can go at all
but after this experiment, I don't see how
the tape I used was spread out weight-wise
maybe more focused weight would help?
weight is weight tho in this case, right?
I don't want to mess with the joint
not sure it would help anyway
I'm just messing with it
not a big deal
interesting tho
yall poolers chime in, let me know what chall thank~
