WEIGHT - With mass production type cues, weight is adjusted by adding or removing a weight bolt in the butt end of the cue. This is how mass production cue makers satisfy the demand for different weights.
BALANCE - Cues with weight bolts in the butt always feel butt heavy because the natural balance point -(determined by taper), has been altered. Unconciously, you balance the weight with your grip and bridge, and this can throw your game off. However, proper balance and hit can be achieved using weight bolts both in the butt and behind the joint pin. If the only option to achieve the desired weight is adding bolts to the cue, the extra weight must be balanced between the butt and the joint pin thereby retaining the natural balance point. The best option is, naturally, no weight bolts.
HIT - If the natural balance point of a cue is altered, the "hit" - (resonance) of a cue is deadened. A properly built and balanced cue will feel wonderful in your hands. The weight is built into the cue and evenly dispersed throughout the cue. Due primarily to our construction techniques, our perfectly balanced custom cues resonate like a tuning fork thus telegraphing a unique hit you will appreciate.
