Going with the REVO 12.9. I'm not 100% sure what balance point I prefer. But I know when I tried a Valhalla cue that has the bolt threaded deep and puts the balance point right above the wrap. I didn't really like that.A lot is going to depend on what shaft you choose for the cue as far as the hit. Predator makes low deflection shafts which have a much stiffer hit compared to a standard maple shaft. The schon cue will have a more forward balance due to the steel joint. Personally I like maple shafts and steel joint cues so I would much prefer the schon. The reason being is maple shafts have a softer hit and the sound and feedback I get while hitting the cue ball is much more appealing to me.
Then you appear to like rear heavy cues.I'm not 100% sure what balance point I prefer. But I know when I tried a Valhalla cue that has the bolt threaded deep and puts the balance point right above the wrap. I didn't really like that.
Agreed and this is a great example.not ebony.
Just in the last year I've seen cues go up between 10-20% depending on manufacturerI owned a Schon STL03 many years ago, I paid around $400 for it.
I see that today the cost is over $1000
How about Paint or some sought of pigment.Not ebony, looks like plastic
I agree 100%. Tried most all of them in my 60 years ofGet a Joss with standard shaft. I can't find a better cue no matter how much I keep trying.
Whats PS?I have owned both. I prefer the Predator PS with the luxe wrap.
The Schon is the more traditional wood cue. You can get a real leather wrap.
Predator uses a lot of non traditional materials, carbon fiber, the luxe wrap, the UniLoc Joints.
Predator just feels better to me. Both are good cues.
