[QUOYE=jayman]but if it lays flat and you turn it say 1/4 turn, and it wont lay flat. It has an arch! I.E NOT STRAIGHT!

When is the nose of a compound tapered butt flat on a table???:rolleyes:

Could it be that the nose is still off the table after a 1/4 turn is because it's a compound tapered butt?

IF IT IS STRAIGHT IT WILL STAY OFF THE TABLE THE SAME DISTANCE! AND NOT W O B B L E !!

Or something like VARIABLE wrap thickness:)

BTW--MOTTEY, STROUD and MARTINEZ all make nice cues. ENJOY!!!

YES!!!!! And because the nose is off the table even minor deviations such as variable wrap thickness can be misconstrued as a warp because it's easier to see even minor fluctuations on a compound tapered butt.

That's why using a lathe(my original statement) is the best way to tell if the butt is warped.

I've owned many MOTTEY's, JW's and a couple MARTINEZ's and decided my SW played best for me.

Most of the SW cues that I come accross has a wobble in them..and everybody tell me its the european taper or compound taper is what causes the roll. It really hard to find a SW that is straight....and a lot guys sell and advertise that it's straight when it really not. I'm maybe picking up a 9 pointer soon and I hope it will be straight and play good. It the hotest stick in Taiwan right now, I think over 50% of the Pro player play with SW cues.

Then you said:

The BEST way to tell if ANY butt, esp. those with compound tapers, are straight is by spinning on a lathe.

Then I said taper roll is B.S., Then you took me to task over that statement.
