Getting the Proper Cue Balance
There has been over the years a lot of conversation about the balance of cue sticks, both in the U.S. and overseas, so let us look at all the aspects so you might be an informed buyer when making a purchase.
## How should a cue be balanced? ##
The late Willie Mosconi stated in his books to hold the cue in your right hand 5-6 inches behind the balance point. On his particular cue and with his shorter arms taken into consideration, and the fact that he played 14-1 predominately, he could get by with that statement -- but can you?
The point of balance of most 58 inch custom cues today (which has become the standard) is between 15 1/2 and 20 inches from the bottom of the butt plate. Taking into account that most pros, including the top snooker players in England will say that to properly position your hands you must; extend 10-13 inches from the point that the cue rests on your bridge hand to the point of contact on the cue ball with your left hand (if your right-handed) and your right hand griping the cue, so that you create an 88 to 90 degree angle with your right elbow. Be sure to be in shooting position with the tip extended to the point of impact with the cue ball.
The reason for this is, to diminish the error in your stroke by bringing only one joint into play (your elbow joint) while following through. This also gives you the maximum amount of power at the moment of impact, this means the shoulder joint will not be employed which would double your error.
Further, this will allow you to automatically strike the cue ball at it's intended point of impact, because your stroke is at it's levelest, when your at an 88 to 90 degree angle at your elbow. With this in mind, and taking note that most players with an average height of 5 foot 10 inches, when extending 11 inches of the shaft, they will find that they are gripping the cue with their right hand 5 inches or closer to the bottom of the cue.
It should be clear then, that the further back the balance can be, the better the chance that the average player has of getting closer to the balance point without diminishing cue control.
## Why do you want your grip hand closer to the balance point? ##
The obvious answer is to keep from having so much of the weight of the cue resting on your bridge hand, thereby obtaining a much lighter touch with the bridge hand. It appears that snooker players, those who must shoot the most accurately of all table games, heartily agree with this scenario. They will be quick to tell you, that they like the balance to be fifteen inches from the butt of the cue.
Another very important reason for gripping the back of the cue, is to control the amount of side sway by diminishing the overall angle of change in the cue, by as nearly as possible controlling both ends.
Here is a simple test to understand this concept. Lay your cue on the table, holding the tip and ferrule of your cue stable in one hand and grasp the joint with your other hand moving the joint a quarter of an inch from side to side. You will note that the butt of the cue moves one half of an inch side to side. Obviously, if you were to move the back of the cue a quarter of an inch side to side, you just reduced the error by half.
With the tapers of cues built today, taking grip size and types of joints into account, it is nearly impossible to get a cue balanced as far back as fifteen inches from the butt, without the cue weighing 21 ounces or more. Therefore, at Meucci Originals, we strive for an obtainable sixteen and one half inches from the butt, plus or minus a half inch, depending on the overall weight of the cue.
There has been some uneducated individuals who have made the statement that a proper balance evenly distributes the weight of the cue between both hands. This would mean that the balance would then fall at twenty-six inches from the butt, or three inches below the joint of the cue, putting nine or ten ounces of weight on your bridge hand. This is obviously a ludicrous statement.
In conclusion, a well balanced cue will have a tendency to cause a player to grip the cue further back, thereby allowing less room for side sway, while automatically positioning the elbow at the proper angle for a level follow through.

Questions & Answers about Ball Cue Other
how to curve ball in pool?
I have been trying to learn how to curve the cue ball around other balls but i cant do it. I have watch videos but they don't show close up where they hit the ball at. Can someone tell me or direct me to a website with info and videos?
My website doesn't have specific instructions for being able to do it, but you can get a good feel for it there. In extreme cases, you hold the cue stick perpendicular to the table, so you can easily imagine that you're hitting the top half of the cue ball and driving it down in to the slate. For smaller curves, your cue stick doesn't need to be elevated so much; you can just take your regular stroke and raise up your grip hand. Similar to the extreme case though, you're still going to hit the top half of the cue ball and aim downwards into the slate. You need to hit it with left or right english depending on which way you want it to curve, so if you imagine the cue ball as the face of a clock, start with trying to hit at 3 or 9 o'clock. This 'clock face' is always perpendicular to your cue so it moves as you change elevation. At 3 or 9 o'clock, you're still stroking along an equator. You can try adding a little top or bottom and see the effects too. Give it a good hard stroke because it needs a lot of spin.
I should mention if you're practicing this on someone else's table, ask permission first. And always chalk up between shots.
I have bought a trick cue ball for pool - how can I keep my friend from seeing me?
