Ivory Joint Schon Tributes
- Thread starter deanoc
- Start date
No confusion there. See the first post, you must call Dean.....214 477 7323.
the Schon tribute will look a lot like the Petersen picture.
No rounded points will be visible.
The ivory joint will be visible,beautiful and function as it should to assure you of the same hit that you have come to love from Schon
AZ voters chose Schon,Scruggs and South West as the 3very best hitting cues.Everyone else received fewer votes including some hall of famers.
More tournament victories have been won with Schon cues than any other.
Verl Horn,a very well known cue maker,who provided parts for Gus,Jerry Franklin,and many other cue makers ,once told a very picky customer who was picking at his cues
"Son,this is a custom cue,naturally you will see little imperfection,if you want something perfect,"go buy a Schon"
Jerry Franklin told me that there is more cue for the money in a Schon than he thought possible.
Why some of these pundits are complaining that Schon is as highly valued for hit and quality as a Gina or Searing troubles me........(I am merely using the names they used)
I am not willing to concede that anyone makes a better playing cue,or even a prettier one,or higher quality
When these ivory jointed cues are delivered,I think all of you will see the prettiest, best hitting cue you ever had
As to the hit of the ivory,Schon is not trying to improve their hit,but to maintain the same great playability that you guys love.
Of course,as Kevin was so kind as to point out,I am "Schon's pitchman" therefore you would expect me to say such things.
It might be appropriate to point out that i have had South west Cues,Szambotis and you can view my Pete Tonkin in the gallery,along with my Paul Drexler gambling mouse
I make no apology for putting schon in the same elite company as these others.
The only complaint, these people have, is that Schon is so efficient that they can provide top quality at reasonable prices so the average working man can play with the same quality cue that Johnny Archer won those tournaments with.
I am putting my reputation on this ivory jointed Schon, I believe it will be one of the nicest cues ever made.For beauty and performance.
I am proud to be associated with Schon in this project,even if only as a "pitchman"

Sounds like a great cue. Can't wait until people get them and start showing them.
It seems that you possibly took my referring to you as a pitchman in a negative way. Sorry if you did, it certainly wasn't my intent. I've been in sales my whole life and I don't see a guy that can pitch something in any way as a negative, and quite enjoy your unique and successful style with cues.
Thanks
Kevin
the butt cap is delrin ,like most cue makers of the era used
the very same delrin that you were so pleased with on the bushka tributes
as you fellas know schon offers a multitude of options in leather or linen,shaft length etc
that is why i like to speak with each of you personally
just had a famous cue maker call to buy one,he said its the prettiest cue he ever saw
he will be posting later,you might want to check in ever so often

Hi-Dean
I know what the cue cost without any options but I think you should post options that are available for it and how much to upgrade the cue !, Even if you don't want to post the price of the cue Please let us know the upgrades and prices so we know what a complete cue is to cost :thumbup:
Leather - linen
Joint Protectors
weight bolts
what is ivory and what isn't
ferrule options
shafts, how many ? what sizes ?
tips
This to me is the most secretive cue buy I've ever seen
Tribute cue
Dean,
As per our conversation I am sending my deposit for the tribute cue.
I have always thought this is one of the best looking cues ever. As I told
you we made two cues similar to this and John Wright bought both of
them and said it was his favorite design. I agree with you about Schon.
They do fantastic work and consistent from cue to cue.
Thanks jack
PS: As always I am available for a modest price to try out any cues you
have. Written evaluation slightly more.

Thanks to Jack Potter,one of the 2 cue makers of the Libra cues
that are so highly regarded today
I appreciate your purchase but the offered services are not necessary at this time.
Jack was somewhat of a prodigy back in the 60's,running over 100 balls when no one else was running a dozen
I had forgotten that Jack had used this design and sold the cues to John Wright
I am happy that Jack will be among the owners of this fine Schon Tribute
PS Jack does not really test cues or give written reports,
he is jibing me
all of you Libra fans can reach jack now
