I know that when I was in Japan, most of the 2nd tier Philippino players that live there played with Schon butts and 314 shafts. It became somewhat of a boom. When I say 2nd tier Philippinos, I'm talking about guys that could play on the world level any day, but just don't have the paperwork or the funds to get into the United States, so many of them live and play in Japan.

I bet if you asked......a large majority of the Pros played with a Schon at one time or another.

On the same topic.....I hit the Expo yesterday and an old friend working at a cue booth pulled me aside to ask about an old Schon. I used to sell Schons 20 years ago. One of the cue repair guys has a Schon no one has ever seen before. It has boxes inlaid in the forearm and the butt.....no points and has the Schon on the shaft. I am hoping to see it today he wasn't available last night.

Anyone ever seen one of these?

thanks, Gerry

I read in BD mag. that SVB played with a Joss butt from a cue he received from Mike Sigel when SVB was a kid and had a Schon shaft fitted to it later on.

It was the opposite. Schon butt, Joss shaft.

A friend of mine had a Schon that no one had seen before and when he contacted Schon about it they told him they made cues to cuctomers specs just like custom cue makers today, so there are probably quit a few one-of-a-kind Schons out there.

2009 WPC they listed him as playing with a Schon.

I'm always late...:) He won the world 8 and 9 ball championships using a South West that he had for many years. He lost his cue or it was stolen in 2008 right before he placed 2nd behind Darren Appleton in the world 10 ball championships using a borrowed cue. Always a day late and a dollar short I am.
