Weight bolt and balance point

[birdy]

With any cue the most weight you can feel when you hold the cue exactly from the balance point . From that point till the butt-end , with every inch the cue feels lighter and lighter .

I think the opposite.
I want all additional weights as far away forward from the gip hand as possible.
With the additional weight away from the grip hand, the cue has a more "honest" weight imo. The cue with it's weight cradles between the bridge hand and the grip hand more naturally imo.

Hmmm. As little mass as possible at the tip. As much weight as possible forward of the grip.

Decisions. Decisions.

That's easy.
Short ferrule and 12 MM tip.

Purpleheart or bocote handle, thick forearm, big brass or ss pin.
