Sorry to all those who PM'd me about this cue, but I finally got around to taking some pics and here they are. As I said before, I am not good at taking pics, but here they are just the same.

yes, i forgot to mention that it is an Original Schuler, purchased at VF SBE nearly 10 years ago.
 
What mm size is the shaft with the longer ferrule?

Is the cue straight - butt and shafts both together and apart?

Are both shafts original?

Are the metal inserts on the shafts where they screw into the joint/butt the same length on both shafts?
 
ACC, your PM box is full.

I received the cue in the mail yesterday and it looks great. I was just wondering if there was a story behind the shorter, thinner shaft?

Thanks!
 
hi ragbug74,

i was wondering why i didnt hear from you about the cue. one of the biggest features about schuler cues was that there were several shafts available with different tapers, length, etc. for different playing styles. when i purchased the cue, i just got the standard pro shaft. i then sold the cue to a local player and he added the shorter shaft that you are referring to. that shaft i believe is the european taper variety of shaft. several years later i repurchased the cue back from him and received both shafts in the transaction. from that time on, the cue has just been sitting in my case. i hope that you enjoy the cue and it was a pleasure dealing with you.

O.K., that makes sense. So the short shaft hasn't been modified nor the tennon snapped off and turned down to replace the ferrule. The shaft is in it's "factory original" configuration. Thanks again.
 
Shorter Shaft

I agree that the shorter shaft was probably built for a European game. Looks like the shorter, thinner shaft may have been a billiards shaft, as Schuler built those as well. They were built with the short ferrule and about a 11.75mm tip. The rest of the shaft was a conical or "super constant" taper, providing a very stiff shaft and less deflection for the billiard player. This could be a snooker shaft as well, but hard to tell without seeing it.
Either way, it is unlikely that it was a damaged shaft that has been repaired. Schuler made several shafts with an original short ferrule.
