What is the slimmest cue butt you have used?

[CoolBlue]

In the title really...

My current cue is 26mm. I read on Mike Woolridge's site that 28" is the slimmest you should really go as this can affect grip. My hands aren't the largest though and I do OK with this piece of wood...

Would a 28mm ( or more ) be better for me? Again, everyone is different... just wondered what everyone else out there is using...

John Higgins cue is 26.5mm probably the slimmest of the pros,
Although he is always getting it altered, it was the last time i seen it.

i think simon told me the cues they made for maguire were only 26mm hence the different badge.

It says 28mm on their ebay listing.

maybe i heard wrong - going deaf in my old age!

im quite curious as to how 28.5mm or below would feel like.

I think Stephens cue is 28mm, but might be wrong.
The slim butt feels a bit strange at first but i suppose its always comes down to what you like.
JH cue does not taper from 9.5mm to 26.5mm. the cue is made like a 28mm butt then the last 4" or so are the same thickness.

If John Higgins' butt is 26mm, he will be gripping with an even slimmer butt because he seldom grip right the the butt end. He grips his cue at around 2-3 inches from butt end.
