To the person asking about Samsara... They're beautiful cues, but there's no way I'd use the stock shaft. It deflected so bad that I used outside english on a back-cut and hit the other side of the object ball and sent it in the opposite direction I had intended to. I recommend either a Mezz, Tiger or Jacoby Hybrid shaft.
On second thought, I might be getting Samsara and Pechauer confused.
Why do you hate on OB so much.
I think the GB series are a lot of cue for the money. I have used them since they came out in the 90s. The consistency is very hard to beat. I prefer the GB3 since I'm an old school type.The new ones are now.
What cue ur using nowI really like Jacoby for a nice production cue. In the past I've spoken several hours with both Brandon and David, both were always nice to me. Though I no longer play with my Jacoby, I always keep it near just incase.

Chinese Adams?The new Balabushka cues are not made by George Balabushka they are made by Adams.
The only one I had in was used, the cue came out of California and I have no idea if the cue got hot or what but the glue was failing, I even offer to buy it back from the customer because I was so embarrassed over having to glue the cue back together so many times.
Then to make things worse the customer went around telling everyone it was a real Balabushka.
That was it for me and the Adams/Balabushka cue went on my I don't sake or deal with that brand of cue.
Samsara,
I had a guy wanted to trade me a really nice looking Samsara and 1000.00 cash for a Bobby hunter cue I had.
Personally I didn't like the hit of the cue, really I didn't like the shafts hit or sound so I didn't trade .
But that means nothing, I am not the person who knows everything about cues and the hit is a personal preference.
I like a cue's joint to be a big pin 3/8x10 pin or 3/8x11 pin with a wood to wood joint.
I like a solid maple shaft that has a little meat on it that shoots extremely solid.
Not a big laminated LD shaft fan.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I can't say enough good things about Samsara. They're extremely underrated in the cue market. Beautiful woods and craftsmanship that will leave you scratching your head. "How did they do that? Oh, and they play pretty damn sporty, too.
And, yes. I did sell mine because it was WAY too pretty for a bar league player. The curly maple was insane in that cue.

Schon > Mezz > Pechauer

what exactly you like in schon over mezz cue? is all schon worth to buy?
That's cause I no longer play LD shafts, I like how schon plays. Mezz makes consistent nice cues but imo their butt are weak (except for higher end ones) and schon's value doesnt depreciate as quick as mezz.
