First, best wishes for a new year to the AzB community!
I did search AzB forums and got several hits, but most were referring to Custom cues and some discussions are now dated because either the Cue maker is now famous and has a long wait list or no longer has a website. Hence starting this new discussion.
I have relatively small hands and therefore feel better to grip cues with thin handles. A point of reference is the Cuetec Gen-Tek series or the Scorpion cues. The problem is that both these cues have joints that are Cuetec specific (3/8 x 14) and nowadays there aren't as many choices in shafts for this joint as used to be before. I have OB, Mezz, SS360, Lucasi, Predator and other shafts for other joints ... for which the Cue handles are thick.
Referring to the Cuetec Gen-Tek series - the dimensions at Collar are 20mm(Legacy joint, the new AVID are I think 21.3mm), start of the grip it is 24mm and end of the grip the diameter is 28mm.
The additional butts / cues that I am looking for in other joints - Mezz United, 5/16 x 14, 3/8 x 10 and 5/8 x 16 and Uniloc.
I do intend to go, assuming COVID is not a major concern, to the Expo April next year .. and hopefully there are enough exhibitors to find what I am looking for. But meanwhile looking for those like me who prefer thin handles for their recommendations.
Cheers!
