to try adding some weight to my playing cue.
It is now at 19.1 ounces.
El Maestro has suggested
increasing weight closer to
my old 22 ounce Willie Hoppe
which I used for many years.
Jim Stadum at Samsara
sent me an entire set of weights
so I can experiment.
I'm thinking it will help with a smoother stroke,
and get more action on the ball,
especially with draw shots.

I would be interested in hearing what you come up with. I use 18.6 oz but I wonder if I should be using something closer to 20 or 21 for shooting. I wonder... would I be able to do draw, follow, side spin just as well? Better? Worse? Would my aim be affected when hitting off-center? We all know a light cue gives the fastest breaking speed, but I know a friend who likes a heavier one for more cue ball control on the break. I wonder if it gives more aim control while shooting? I suspect speed control is better with a lighter cue.
