I have become most comfortable with cues that have a thinner diameter handle usually around 1.00-1.05 at my grip hand and tapering to 1.16-1.19 at the butt cap. I can't believe that you can feel that much difference between a cue that is 1.25 at the butt cap compared to 1.18 at the butt cap. I think the 1.25 is a pretty standard size at the butt cap but it just feels to large for my liking. Anyone know what cuemakers typically have a thinner handle as there standard dimension. I have a few very nice cues that I no longer use since I got used to the thinner handle in my Frey cue.
