The Pause

HawaiianEye
There has to be a "pause" for the motion to change direction, but there does not need to be a "forced" pause that causes the motion to come to a complete stop for more than a millisecond or so. The "pause" should come naturally.

Some people come to a complete stop and look each way for oncoming traffic before the cue is brought forward.

That is not necessary.

Are all Schön Joint Screws the Same?​

No — not all Schön joint screws are identical, and they are not the same as Joss screws, though some older models share similar dimensions.

Key differences between brands​

  • Schön vs. Joss: Joss shafts use a 5/16" x 14 joint screw (thread size) with a smaller pilot (≈0.460–0.480") AzBilliards ForumsAzBilliards Forums.
  • Schön shafts historically used a larger pilot (≈0.530") and a joint screw around 0.308" x 14 in later models AzBilliards ForumsAzBilliards Forums.

I have a bunch of 5/16x14 aftermarket shafts, Predator 314-2, Predator Revo, Rhino, OB InFuze. they all fit on all of the 5/16x14 cues that I’ve tried them on, including Schon, Josss, Jacoby, McDaniel and Tim Scruggs.
Aftermarket shafts have a looser threads to fit all and a small pilot for the same reason.

Anyone playing with the Predator Centro Shaft?

Trying the Centro today. It’s on the left cue. It’s not bad….but there is nothing like that Joss hit, and the shaft on the Joss was especially tapered for me by Stephen Janes.

Does the “hit” more important than consistency and accuracy?
I like to spin the CB, more than I probably should… a good low deflection shaft for me is more important, and there aren’t many shafts out there that could beat the Centro, the feel is pretty good as well.

Carbon Fiber Shaft(s) for Schon Cues

I have both a Rhino and a Revo that fit a Schon, I don't get the issue here... any 5/16x14 shaft will do, piloted or flat faced.
The pilot on non Schon shaft is smaller than the Schon and will fit with no issue.
The Rhino had to be tapped in order to fit, I did it myself easily.
