How it plays: Schon cues have a stiff hit due
to the stainless steel piloted joint and shorter taper.
Schon cues are produced in smaller quantities in order to
concentrate on quality. Schon has a reputation for
tradition and mystique. Exotic materials are used in
making the cues, which increases the value.
"Schon" is German for "beautiful."
Quantities of Schon cues can be limited.
Please try to have several selections when you are ready to
order. Wood types, stains and veneer colors will vary.
