I got a complete cue but I'm not happy with the butt. my cue has a slim taper and small diameter butt, so as long as I can get one slightly over sized I can have it machined down by JP and hand finnished. John can shave the brass joint down till the splices match.Last edited by cazmac1; 27 February 2010, 10:01 PM.

There will be several complications such as the cue balance, weight & the overall dynamics of the cue will be effected.
Even if you got a cheap butt, you will still have to pay a lot more to JP for the other adjustments to get it to your spec.

Hi willytan,
I've spent a lot of money on this cue and I'm at the point where I almost smashed it a couple of times. This is the last throw of the dice with this cue.
I've had some big breaks with this cue but have never been happy with it, I've a new cue on order and will most properly sell this on or keep it for my son (that’s if it stays in one piece).
When I was last a JP he told me that they can shave the joint down for £20, I was even offered the service there on the spot. j6uk has measured the diameter at the joint as being 25.35. Mine is almost the same, just a faction over. I might even be able to sand it down myself
Last time I hand the cue butt altered at john's it cost me around £85 pounds which is quite reasonable. H&O wanted £120 which I thought was too much.

John and I tried to match it up with other Classics in the shop and he said "its no problem shaving a bit off here or there".. That's what I like about him, he's able to think outside the box and land on his feet with a decent cue in his hand! But i wanted a 1pc so, hence I still have the butt.
