stumbled on this post and realized that the 4th image is an image that I made years ago of my cue and not of the cue that was offered here for sale...
I was out of town that week and didn't get my paper.Why even post this... everyone already knows, it was in all the papers two weeks from now![]()
That is a possibility, for sure. However, we also have a billiards culture now that focuses solely on the main body of the cue while plotting what upgraded shaft we're going to buy & use on it. I'm pretty firmly & deeply in that rabbit hole.I am surprised the butt and shaft worked. Maybe they gave up on the shafts because they failed too often???

I blame this single piece of inlay boredom for my slightly offbeat taste in cue art/design. I've seen this in like 6 million cues since the 90s and it still pops up in modern cues. There's zero originality with this diamond, almost no matter how you inlay it. I don't get it. If this is what floats your boat on cue design...well, there's an ass for every seat.If you can’t say something nicethere is an ass for every seat i guess lol
I love the R12, It's one of my favorite cue designs.After a long time looking, I finally found a Schon R12 in like new condition. It wasn’t cheap. Couple that with a Jacoby low deflection shaft and it’s a sizable investment (for me). Throw in a leather Instroke 2x4 case and Predator break cue and I’m carrying almost $4k into the pool hall. It’s going there because it is exactly what I’ve always wanted as far as balance and feel. I shoot better with it than any other cue I have owned. The strange part, is I worry more about carrying it than I did my JossWest (or other equally expensive cues). Fortunately, I always have friends where I shoot, who are willing to help keep an eye on it if I take a break from the tables. I guess the fact that it is THE cue I have always looked for, it seems less replaceable than other more expensive cues I have owned.
