I just saw this one on Facebook marketplace

I just measured it, mine is 1 1/8" across the butt cap end , I gave you the measurement so you can get an idea if that works for you, I like the smaller size, I think most cues are 1 1/4" to 1 1/3/8"

The Becue butt at 1-1/8" is the thinnest cue butt diameter I have found --- see below. Another European cue --- Shuriken Cues --- is virtually the same. The diameters below are for various cues and were collected from the following AZ posts:

Becue ______________________28.6 mm 1-1/8"
Shuriken Cues _____________28.9 mm or 1.14"
Viking skinny _____________ 30.6 mm
Predator Le4 ______________30.8 mm 1.211"
1980s Schon ______________31.0 mm 1.22"
Newer Predator|Blak 3-4 _ 31.2 & 31.4 mm
Pure X_____________________31.3 mm
Cuetec ____________________31.7 mm or 1.25"
1980s Schon ______________31.8 mm
Falcon ____________________32.0 mm
1980s Schon ______________32.3 mm 1.27"
2010 Predator ____________32.6 mm
Brunswick _________________32.7 mm
Mali ______________________ 32.8 mm
Meucci BMC ______________32.8 mm
Viking _____________________33 mm
Briggs (100-year old) _____35.3 mm
Brunswick Master Stroke _36.8 mm
WHP 22 ounce ___________37.5 mm

all were high level athletes. you have to be to be a top pro. now they go to golf, or some other venue even darts is better.

its that they dont even get started in pool not turning in their cues. think clearly my friend.

Taper on the Prime II?

You can’t replicate the developmental programs that exist in Europe and elsewhere. Pool is not part of what America wants for its young people. So we have to go forward with what we have. SJM mentioned bringing in our youth. Absolutely and I think a coach that stays with the team for the long haul. Switching up coaching so frequently doesn’t work. We just can’t go at this a few weeks before the Cup and expect players to have their “team game” ready to go. Adding Canada and Latin America to the cup would help.

Did you get the Prime II shaft? You should be able to get that shaft with it, the transition will be easy for you

Yes Prime 2 12.5 mm tip. Thanks for the info.

If I can find somebody to do it, I am thinking about refinishing the butt of my Becue Naked Cue.

I want to remove the clearcoat and have the section where a wrap would be on a normal cue painted in a Pearlescent White and then have the butt clearcoated again.

I have a black Prime shaft and two of the original White Prime shafts, one used and one never used.
