one of the reasons why i love Mali, is from 1968-2001 they made their cues in america in a small shop in sheffield MA. the shop was called cuesports. if you called them, and said, i would like the M-14 in 17 oz., with phenlonic joints instead of the standard stainless steel, and i want extra birdseye in the maple, so please "hand select" the wood, they would say "sure, no problem" all of this at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!! now, since 2002, Mali is made in china, the quality, is better than ever!, but, no custom orders, OH SHIT! so, i say to you, call up viking cues, and ask them to make you a cue with a 16 oz. weight bolt. they are the largest cue maker in the states, and are willing to please, although, i don't really care for the way vikings play or look, quite frankly. try Mcdermot as well.
