Does the butt affect deflection?

I believe that from Butt to Butt the biggest difference may be from the flex in the forearm of the Butt. This I suspect (very subjective opinion) will alter the cue will play overall. I really like stiff forearms and the way they play.

I just noticed your signature with the web address for Foster cues.

Does your cue have a hexagon forearm/butt? Just curious if hexagon forearm/butts are stiffer than cylinder forearm/butts.
