I was sitting here thinking about how I break pretty well with my light playing cue, usually better than my 25 oz breaker. So I have been considering having a break cue made. What kinds of wood would be good choices for a break cue around 15-16 oz range? I want something light that's solid enough that it won't break.
 
Why would you need cues at such extremes of the spectrum?
You dont break better with a 16oz cue. It's mostly about technique...
But if you like to have a break cue made I would recomend a full length purpleheart core. 3/8-10 SS pin, 13mm maple or purpleheart shaft, short G10 ferrule and Taom 2.0 tip.
What wood you choose for the butt sleeve,forearm and grip, is mostly cosmetic, but some woods are heavier or lighter than others.
 
I'm getting close to finishing a break cue that is Bocote butt and Purple Heart shaft. Cool looking combo.
 
I'm going to look in to having one made from purpleheart and some other kind of wood. We'll see the price range. I was going to just the OB break shaft and have I light butt made for it.
