    Any cue doctor could make you a rounded butt, or add a splice to your existing butt to round it off, but this would alter the balance of the cue so would need to be re balanced and could be just as pricey as a new butt.

    Personally I prefer the more solid feel - and find it's more natural to find the correct position to hold the cue (for me the feel of the chamfer has always been a bit of a distraction, maybe its because when I learned to play years ago it was with a cheap one piece cue with a rounded butt, everything else since hasn't felt right?).

    For my money, MW's chamfers come closest to the rounded butt feel, so that might be a good compromise for someone who wants the best of both worlds...

    Yup, reminds me of Jimmy White, he always used to rotate the cue when down on the shot to find the part he aimed down. Doesn't do it anymore as his cue has been extended with a chamfer piece.

    I'm only just starting to get used to it to be honest, after playing roughly over a month with it, it's the first rounded butt i've owned(excluding my cheeks) i'd imagine it's not for everyone...

    So its more of a mental thing when a round butt is on ash? What if your grains aren't straight? It'll then affect your shot.
