Ultra-light cue

[yoyo]

I use a stock 2K1 with the weight bolt removed, so I reckon the weight is about 18.75 oz. Recently, I tried a friend's cue with a 314 shaft and a custom butt. The weight is about 17-17.5 oz, I think. Initially, the cue felt like a toy cue, but it took only about 5 minutes to get used to it. When putting English on the cue ball and drawing, it was incredible. Unfortunately, he didn't allow me to break with it ;-) I'm now thinking of getting another shaft and making a custom (light) butt. Anyone has any comments/experience using an ultra-light cue like this, I'd like hear about it.

I have always shot with a 19 or 19.5 oz cue. I have a friend that just ordered a cue from a cue maker locally and he ordered it so it will be as light as possible. The maker said should be around 17 oz or so. I will see him tomorrow and ask him about having a lighter cue. He had a McDermott and just kept going lighter until it had no weight bolt and he was trying to find someone to drill wood out to take even more weight out.

I am using pred SPW w/o weight bolt as break. I think it weghts below 18oz, and it work great. I tried many sticks for break but SPW w/o bolt is absolutely best, nothing comes close. Cheap,powerful,accurate!

Yoyo, we have an American cuemaker here that sells his cues under the name of Queperfect.biz on the net.
Many of our Pinoys do not like the man because he talks too plain telling too much truth about our crab mentality of always tearing a person down with pile-on tactics and lies. Some of our Pinoy cuemakers have attacked him because his cues sell so high while our cuemakers cannot sell a cue for near his price. He even talked of how our Pinoy cue makers lay the woods out in the sun to dry and I had to admitt that I see this most of the time that I go to most Pinoy shops. I lived in America for 10 years and think the man is a breath of fresh air and he is more than willing to tell the bad about his people also. He has a cue on his page called Exotic Rare Wood Cues and on this page is a jumb break cue that is 16.9 ounces and uses a predator 314 shaft.

I sent the man an e-mail asking if he sold Predator shafts to we Pinoys and he replied that last year two of our people had taken many of his Predator shafts without payment. One, he said, was "a cuemaker in Quezon City". So the cheap predatos shafts on sale are probably the ones stolen from him. What is the address they are selling at so I can tell the Kano from Que Perfect.

He said to ask Neil Fujiwara if que percect cues are good cues and ask how does a man improve transportation in New York. I erased his message, but I think it was New York.

What is or what do you mean by the word "PINOY"?

clearly you are not Pinoy so stop trying to be one. There is no Pinoy that would bad mouth his own people and country the way you did. What is your purpose in doing this silly act?

Just for your information, the lightest cue that we make is the 3K2.

For some reason they are just lighter in general than our other cues.

It is not uncommon for these cues to come out around 17 ounces with no weight bolt.

Hey Elvis, can you get me some info about your local cue maker, I really am interested about who in Iowa is making custome gear. PM me if you could thanks.
