I sent you amessage but it came to me, sorry. Yes cue id smaller, can't remember the dim now, but I shot a couple racks with it and it felt better to me, think you will like it, I'm running out of time and there ae acouple small places on the finish I'm not happy with , so I am sending the cue to Jim Pierce Custom cue, he will spray a auto clear coat on it, better that way . Should not take long, but I'm paying him for the spray and the shipping to you. I will be on road tommarro, takeing wife to Dr. today, shoot leagues tonight,just not enough time. I am really happy with the new butt, and the inish will be perfect.Thanks Jim
