What is the balance point?
The balance point is the point on the butt that will allow you to balance the cue when you hold it with one finger. The balance point will usually be near the top of the wrap, and will be more or less forward with different manufacturers. To adjust the balance point and overall weight of some cues, the manufacturers will use numerous alternatives, running from no weighting to removable weight screws. In commenting on balance point you will often hear comments like weight forward, or butt heavy, or balance neutral. This will normally refer to how the cue feels when you hold it just prior to a shot…….different strokes for different folks.
