I have an old Snooker book by Jim Medowcroft which says Hendry's cue was around 17ozs. I bought a very similar model to Stephens around the same time and it weights in at 17.25ozs. I think cues generally were around this weight "in olden days". Steve Davis's cue was also 17ozs (ish) but might have gained some weight when he had it split in two.

Most of the older cues I have seen range from 16 - 17 1/2 oz max so I agree with that. 3/4 cues are normally heavier because they are solid ebony butt most of the time, instead of ash with ebony spliced on. Not really answering the OP, but I would bet it was somewhere in tis range.

It was 17 ozs, i felt the cue, and asked him at the time of the Rothmans gp.
