Do cue balls have different weights?

What is a good weight for a pool cue?
For the most part, 18 – 21 ounces is standard for pool cue weights. If you use a lighter cue weight, like 18 or 19 ounces, then the object ball will go into the pocket slow and the cue ball will be really lively. This is because you create more snap with a lighter cue stick.

So the first step is to remove the bumper, which you can do one of two ways: by using both both thumbs and pressing against the side of the bumper to lift it off, or using the McGripper tool to grip the bumper and pry it off. This will expose the head of the weight bolt, which again is a ¼ inch allen wrench.
