Butt Preference ?

ok, I did a lazy search and the question came up, but there was no poll on this.

so, I'm curious as to what kind of Butt the average AZ'er ( <---- is there one?), really likes to play (with)

Thick butt - all the "meat" is here a strong,slow taper (think 60's 70's cues)

Thin butt - Same as thick , just less "meat." The butt is still noticeably larger than the shaft.

Western style - A variant of thin with a stronger taper.

Bell-shaped - Thick with a stronger taper outward added toward the end of the cue

Pencil shaped - Thin with a long slow taper almost uniform to the shaft and slightly larger in diameter.

Some cue-makers only make cues one way.

so what's your preference ?

Bump for a 100

Bumpin' this poll to see If it can get 100 replies. that would be a good sample but still a little small.

Nitti (IMO I'm no expert hence this poll), would be "thick" I also held a Mottey, McWorter, Omen, Szamboti,Scruggs,Jensen,Gilbert, My take is they all seem "thick" or standard.

On the thinner side : Murrell, Jim White, Barnhart, Gina, and I have a few Mezz production cues that are "thin"

It may have been a Pechauer that was pencil thin. You noticed it before you even played it.

I'm curious about the Jim White. Does he make all his cues with a "thin" Butt ?? The one I played was verry slim, but the guy had it made totally custom. :shrug:
