Tried looking for ivory joint. and changing a cues weight, could not find the thread. Have a custom weighing 20.5 with a ss piloted joint. Balanced nice but heavy. If changing joint to ivory, can I reduce weight by as much as .75 to one ounze ? Own one ivory jointed cue now so wont be any surprises on the hit. No weight bolt just coco front and butt. Appreciate cuemakers knowledge to question. Thanks

Without specifics on the stainless collar the cue has now, there's no way of even guessing it's approximate weight.

..but assuming it's a "standard" collar, something like 1" L x .84" OD x .625" ID, it's probably a little over 1.5 oz. An Ivory collar of the same dimensions might weigh a little shy of .4 oz.

I appreciate your response.I did not know to be more exacting. 1"L x .84 OD and .48 measuring the pilot on shaft. Maybe as much as one ounze reduction which I was hoping for. Thank you
