   Contrary to the product description, the one I’ve received is 19 oz, and there isn’t any easy way to replace the weight bolt. It seems that all MFH2X60 series come in two flavors – 19 or 20 oz. If you really need to specify the weight, you’d better look elsewhere. On the other hand, this is a pretty good beginner cue stick. When the two pieces are put together, the center of mass is about 4.5” from the top edge of the grip. I’d have given it 4 stars if those “Made in China” labels weren’t so hard to remove (in fact, I had to use isopropanol to clean off the adhesive residue along the shaft).

   Decent stick, I got the 20 oz metallic silver one, which is actually more of a gray or charcoal in my opinion, but no big deal. My issues were the same with the stickers as other reviews above and I kind of wish I could get rid of the big “GRAPHITE” graphic that’s on it, and the packaging (I bought this item at the same time as a case for the cue) was in a box about 4x larger than it needed to be that arrived from UPS open. I left packaging feedback recommending next time using a shipping tube to send it. When I took out the cue though and removed all the wrapping, the cue was fine even though it practically fell out of the box. I have played about 40-50 games with it now, and I do like the feel of it, including balance, weight, solidness, and the way it glides through my bridge hand (I think that’s the graphite talking – probably won’t ever need hand chalk), and it’s straight as an arrow too. It does have a funny taper to it just after the joint on the tip end, and I did think the grip would be a little different, like maybe rubberized or something (seems more like paper wrapped around it instead), but it’s fine overall. If you’re a pro looking for perfection, be prepared to spend $200 minimum, and up to $500 or even more, but this cue will be just fine for anyone on the amateur to lower-mid level. I mostly just play in bars and small time tournaments, and it definitely beats any bar’s house cue I’ve ever used.

   I just used this cue for the first time last night and gave it a good workout (14 racks of 8-Ball). I’ve played pool on and off for 12 years, but this was my first time not using a house cue since I just joined a league. Wow, what a difference! It took me about 2-3 racks to get the feel of it and then everything clicked into place and I played the rest of the night at the absolute top of my game. It thrills me to know that this cue will now be a constant for me. So if you are an amateur looking to buy your first cue, this is definitely it. If you are a professional, I can’t guess how you’ll feel about this cue, but I can tell you that the grips are sweet, the tip is perfect, and the cue is exactly straight. What else do you really need, anyway? I got the 19oz in blue. By the way, all this talk about hard-to-remove stickers seems to be related to one stupid tiny round sticker behind the grip almost on the butt of the cue. It says “19 ounces made in China”. Who cares? I figured why chance a sticky spot and I just left it on there. All of the big stickers that advertise features or would get in the way of playing came off easily with no residue at all.

   The cue itself is good quality (for 45 $) and nice to play (good cue for beginners), but the labels which were on the cue were so hard to remove (took about 10 minutes to remove and clean it). Not well thought out.
   
   I thought the cue to be made in the US – it ist NOT. There’s a label on it: Made in China. I don’t think that this fact was mentioned in the description.
