Anyone have a Segen?

[Shooter08]

Please post a review in “Cue and shaft reviews“. Appreciated. Thx, Shooter08

Does anyone know anyone w/ a Segen? I can’t be the only person who tested one and enjoyed how it played. I wish I had a S22 if anybody knows of one.

J&J cues have a S23 for $660. Obviously not a S22 but similar. The S23 has cocobolo instead of birdseye and has inlaid rings.

I have 2 and they play fantastic. I went from my Segen to a carbon fiber but find myself going back and forth because of the way the Segen plays. I bought the Segens and retired my Shon's from the Evan era.

Which models do you have? I just noticed recently that JJ does have a OB shaft available but I’m not aware of any other aftermarket shafts. We have a pointed Segen for sale but I think the carbon craze is keeping it from selling. Personally I like the hit with the original shaft but I would like to squire a maple Merry Widow S22. Lately, I’ve into them for pure hit. Thx for your input.

I have the S9 and S43. The S43 has only hit a couple of balls just to feel the hit.

Nice looking cues, I was impressed with how they hit. We were a Schon dealer when Evan left and helped start Segen. Got a chance and played a few racks of nine ball at Evans booth at a a tournament years ago and we became a dealer at that time. It's to bad they did not last, quality product and playability.

Never owned one but go to meet Evan and get a shop tour from him when they were just getting things rolling there. He had a real nice setup going, very clean and modern production space....vastly different from the experience of visiting Schon which is kinda the exact opposite of that. I was impressed with the quality of the cues.

Evan was great, really nice guy and a very talented photographer, he had a lot of his work up in the in the offices there which was cool to see.

Evan was a really nice guy and quite the character!

Keeping the Segen, seriously looking forward to chalking it up. I still remember the day I tested one extensively and was impressed to the point we became a dealer. Honestly don’t remember if we sold 1, but I remember they hit damn good and I’m getting a new cue. I know, I already own half, but now I can chalk her up and go for a ride whenever I want. Nothing like a brand new cue.

I have an s22 if you’re still interested

Does Segen do custom cue commissions? Just curious...

Segen has been closed for some time now. Evan has passed, he was Segen except for the financiers. Shooter08

Ah bummer. sorry to hear. I believe my 2005 Schon CX61 is from Evan's era. I had not used it in years, but after last week's table time, I'm glad I did not make the mistake of selling it.

 

[Shooter08]

Wow, never seen a CX61 before. Pretty neat, what is the green inlay material? Or I suppose yours may be different color than the pic I have available.

 

[lord_shar]

The green material is malachite, and the white inlays look like genuine ivory. It has 5 floating ebony points.
