Besides Schuler himself, Noel Mendoza, and Jacoby, do you know any other cue makers that make cues with the Schuler joint? I am not asking who will make a shaft for one, but what others might make cues with that joint.

I am especially asking about older cue makers, maybe 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years ago.

I have a cool cue I took a chance and picked up cheap ($65) on Ebay a few years ago. It's in storage, and I never took detailed pictures, just put it away and forgot about it. It has the Schuler joint, but not the weight system. When I get it out at some point I will get detailed pictures. I am theorizing it could be a very early Schuler cue, or perhaps made by someone that worked in his shop, or some other.

I have not yet contacted Mendoza. I will when I get the cue out again. I was just curious what knowledge might be floating around about what makers have used this joint.

I think this is the first time hearing this argument against using wood shafts. I have been thinking for a while of switching from my Revo to a 314 shaft so I can get more feedback. Maybe even keilwood. But apparently wood shafts play different depending on humidity. Humidity changes depending on the season and geo location. I mean humidity changes a lot all the time, like a rainy day. I would rather not add another inconsistency to playing pool if there is any truth to what she is saying?

I know I have seen them, but rarely, and I have no idea of age or model. I probably haven't seen one in ten years.
