Take all of the weight out of your break cue

[Zerksies]

I think the days of people trying to break 25+ mph are over. It's more of a controlled break now.

The ideal break is break the pack open land the CB in the center of the table and have a shot of the first ball.

My 3C playing cue is around 15.5oz. Maybe 16.

I get around the table just fine.

As a kid I always looked for a light cue on the rack.

I had a guy make me a stick with at 3/8 x 10 pin that weighs about 12oz. plus shaft I'm at 15.2
and it plays amazingly. The new cloth is so pressure sensitive there is no reason to play with a heavy cue
in my opinion.

I vaguely remember Dr. Dave saying that there’s diminishing returns whether you go lighter or heavier. Staying within 18-21oz is ideal. A lot of it comes down to your genetics and if you have fast twitch or slow twitch muscle fibres.

If this is true, and it probably is, then it makes sense that you would move to a heavier breaker as you age. The only thing fast twitch on this guy anymore are my eyelids!
