Underappreciated Cue Makers Section

Mike Stacey is vastly under appreciated. He’s a 30+ year veteran cuemaker and American Cuemaker Association officer. His cues generally follow South West specifications. He’s a standup and no nonsense man who delivers when he says he will. His cues are an excellent value to boot.

I have looked at a few of his on your site. I had to force myself not to buy one. Spent too much recently. They look to be a great value.

You would think that after all these years, and after all Evan Clarke’s efforts, people would have stopped referring to it as acme pin. Evan hated the term, especially since whoever called started calling it an acme pin had no idea what an acme thead was.

You are correct, I even put it in quotes so nobody got mad...haha.

Back on topic, Dave Kikel was under appreciated and Im sure there are modern makers flying under the radar. I would like to try a Mike Durbin or Tim Prince.

Evan Clark used to go nuts when people called that an acme. Pin.
It's just a 5/16-14 pin that is not interchangeable with other Schon shafts
Some of them actually are interchangeable.

Not quite sure what you’re saying but that pin, that pilot nosed 5/16-14 Schon pin that Evan created in 1993 should fit every Schon 5/16-14 shaft (except for maybe the S-series). That was Evan’s pride… that all Schon 5/16-14 shafts fit all Schon 5/16-14 butts. He thought he was the first to be able to say that. He was a little chuffed when I told him that Ray Schuler could say that of his cues and shafts from way earlier.

I've had several schon shafts from vintage to vintage, that were not interchangeable and the simple fix was to run a tap through them.
But then again I've own a huge variety of Schon cues from every vintage.
I remember when the late. Great, Don Sherman sent me 7 of them to run a tap through because they were not interchanging.

I have some nice R series dash ring Schon shafts I'm going to sell if anyone is interested

If you decide to purchase one, you can't go wrong with Martin...a.k.a., jazznpool.
He's one of the best in the business.
