He was one of the few professional players to regularly change his cue, and its weight. Not an example to be generally followed I shouldn't think. -
It was 22oz in the late forties.

Sorry I got his nationality wrong. Old age and knackerdom!

Personally I prefer a very light cue for practice. The lighter the better - this way I am more in touch with what is going on with my cue action. I think a heavy cue has more of it's own effect, and you are less aware of what you are doing wrong with your arm. The light cue shows every imperfection, and although hard to master - I believe that the lighter cue helps you develop a better cue action.
In a match though, a heavier cue is better, as you have to do a lot to move it off it's path once in motion.Comment

Can’t agree with using two cues at polar opposites ,use one cue until you need to change to a different one for whatever reason .poor advise there .Comment

When I say 'personally I prefer' then it's my opinion - it's not advice. Only you are giving advice when you tell people to 'use one cue'.Originally Posted by mikee View Post
I use two, and prefer the heavier cue and play best with it, I adapt to changing cues about as quickly as I adapt to the condition of a table and the speed of the cloth.Comment
