On a 29 inch butt .840 to 1.25 was pretty much standard. I have never measured one but today's cues as I see on tv look thinner. I played with Steve Miz's cue and as big as he was it had a pretty slim butt.
What’s the diameter of your Butt?? 😏

My wife says it's perfect.
But then, over the years I've convinced her about other measurements that probably aren't quite what I claim…

My Rick Howard is 1.27 & .84 joint
McDermott E-B5 is 1.29 & .85
McDermott D-4 is 1.28 & .85.5
Those are the only cues I own now.
(I am looking for a beater Sneaky for the "more lively"
joints here In Birmingham and down on the river).

McDermott D-20 (30 in length): 1 9/32 inch (~32.5 mm)
McDermott E-F3: 1 9/32 inch (~32.5 mm)
Pechauer: 1.25 inch (31.75 mm)
Joss 2055 (current player): 1.25 inch (31.75 mm)
Interesting how much difference 1/32 of an inch can make. My D-20 definitely feels thicker in my hand than the others.

The Meucci surprised me but I’ve never owned an Original. Only 95 series
Thanks!

The older I get the bigger it gets.
Uh oh
Baseball bats come in different dimensions. A Roger Maris or Mickey Mantle had a very slender grip as it facilitates the quick flip of the wrists plus the weight was closer to the very end(like a golf club). For hitting the long ball. A Nelly Fox or Jackie Robinson had a very fat handle to facilitate protecting the plate.. More meat further down allowed a base hit even when the pitch was in on the hands. My favorite was Jackie Robinson in 36 inch length. Choked up to 32 gave me a home plate protector. Well I was a lead off hitter. Base hit was my mission. When I was the clean up hitter batting 3rd or 4th I chose a Mickey Mantle 32 with the little finger around the knobs on the end. With it I was swinging for the long ball. I was a good hitter. Shrug Hitting the wheel in competition was my greatest accomplishment. In 4 at bats a single, double, triple and a home run.....oh that was fun.
I prefer a smaller grip on my pool cue. Thinking of it as a delicate instrument. A fat grip made it feel more like a club than an instrument. My break cue is thicker and would serve well as a club (in a bar fight).
I don't have a Ledgend cue, but my JFlowers 10-22F has a diameter of 31.6mm at the thickest point
My cues have various diameters at the thickest point on the butt (sometimes it's not right at the end).
At the moment, the cue I feel most comfortable with has a diameter of 31.5mm.
Although thickness does make a difference, in my opinion, the weight and balance point are more important.es

Man i remember back in the mid 90's when i went to Steepleton's in Lexington Ky. They had a nice glass display with Meucci's. I wanted the 95-14 so bad but just didnt have the extra money. I always looked at that cue everytime i went in. Yep the Meucci original is the ST4 Hi Run. Big Butt and small joint. 1.3 but with a .820 joint. Hits great and straight as an arrow.
