You'll have to go custom.
Even if there is a cue out there that can be 17oz when removing the weight bolt, it might shift the balance point too much.
you're looking at a butt that will weigh between 13oz to 13.5oz as good shafts weigh between 3.5oz to 4oz. you can get lighter shafts but they will be from cheap wood. you might also consider a small diameter tip.
Or Kielwood might be a good answer...

Jacoby makes a Feather Weight break cue that you can get down to 15 ounces, but it comes with a phenolic tip, swap the tip with a shooter and you are good to go. Seybert's has them for about $445, several colors.
Or see if Schmelke cues can build you one, give them a phone call. Or maybe a local cuemaker can fix you up.

Do you all weigh them horizontal or vertical?

Weight balance is not an issue if a McDermott H-Series butts are used since it allows weights to be placed anywhere along butt. I bet, however, the H-Series' butts are 14 ounces making their weight-adjustment feature useless for players wanting 17-ounce cues that have a common 4-ounce shaft. Does anyone know what H-Series butts weigh without weights?
I weigh myself then stand on the scale with the cue in my mouth.

If the 406 in your name means you are from Montana, pm me if you are interested in a custom.
I've gone back to heavier, but I have made cues in your weight range, and used to use one that I made that was lighter.

That begs the question.
Is it sideways(safe)
Or one of the ends?(danger)
Cuebuddy>>> Fat end or chalk?
Tough choice.

I’m building this one for a guy that wants a 15-16 oz cue. The dense stabilized burl made it a challenge. (He wanted a Miami Dolphins themed cue)
