question for cue makers

[mattyshinobi22]

ive been thinking of having the butt thinned on my cue, currently, 29 3/4mm
thinking taken down to 29 or slightly less

would this affect the stiffness of the shaft in anyway? or what other effects could this have on the cue

thanks for all replys

no mate wouldnt think so,all changing butt size will do is make a nats lighter and maybe how you handle a bit

cheers jim, gonna see if can get used to the butt how it is first then have another think

You have obviously bought a new cue with a thicker butt ?? What splces/veneers does it have ?? Also does it have a makers badge ??

It will move the balance point a bit forward. Might cause splicework to go out of line if it is currently level. Should not causes the shaft to lose any stiffness however.
