Re-splicing a cue

[justf]

I have a decent cue (mw, 3/4 ash) fantastic shaft, great weight etc but the butt is too slim, being 28mm. Been thinking for a while about getting it re-spliced to make butt 30mm (a beyonce butt).
If I get a good cuemaker/alterer to do this will i lose a lot of the "feel" i get with the cue at the moment? Ive tried to get used to the slimmer size, but i just cant sadly.
Just wondered if anyone else has had a cue changed in this way?
Thankyou for any input, will be greatly appreciated.

I had a cue from craftsman (15 years ago). I sent the cue to craftsman to do that (from 28.3 to 30mm). He did a Great job. I noticed no difference in terms of playability and feeling !!! The balance point of the cue is also important. if I were you, I would consult with the cuemaker and ask his advice !!! Just MHO !!!!

firstly how do u know that you need a 30mm butt ? have you played with a cue with a thicker butt b4 ? I just had the opposite done to my cue just last week went from 32mm to 28mm for my girly hands...never noticed any difference in the cue after work was done.

A 3/4 cue just have a new butt made,no need to alter existing one.

Or since I prefer 28mm butt diameter, just send the cue to me and buy yourself a new MW with your specs
