well i used to play with one cue a 21oz. It was great for breaking, but a bit hard for normal shots. If i had to do it again, id go with a 21 for breaking only and athen a lighter one for all other shots. Also figure out what kind of tip you want, small or big. Best thing to do is goto a pool shop and try out a bunch of cues till you figure out what you like.

We had a team in CPA for 4 years but my work schedule makes it too difficult to get out now.
Weight and tip are the most important factors for you right now. Shoot a few with different cues and find the right combination you prefer.

Use a seperate stick for breaking otherwise you'll flatten out the tip.

I used to use a 16 with small tip when I played. Anything heavier and I'd freight train the table

i would look at trying a small head/tip also try a 18 oz also try looking at a 21 for your opening shot with a big tip
