I still think Runde is under appreciated. I prefer his customs but he was Schon.
Underappreciated Cue Makers Section
- Thread starter Bavafongoul
- Start date
I have three Jack Madden cues.
All three are new, never played, two matching 13mm shafts per cue. I don’t play anymore due to health reasons.
Any interest?

Ditto this.I usually like my cues around 14.8 to 15.0 oz (butt), 3.7 to 4.0 oz (shafts). Seems to generally land the overall balance where I like it.

Any idea which Schon this is?

Bob Runde is hardly under-appreciated and is a heralded cue maker.
Not only did he co-found Schon but he’s also produced amazing cues.
Then after leaving Schon, Bob ventured into exquisite custom cue making.
Now maybe we don’t talk about Bob’s cues because they don’t come
up for sale that often as a Schon cue or his name. Ever wonder why or
even notice? It’s because Runde cue owners value what they possess.

Wrong forum. You need to take this to the for sale section.
Paul Dayton, (FL) John Guffey (OK) were definitely underacted cue builders!
Especially for the money!

I'm sure there are a couple members here that are good cue makers.

It is not the wrong forum by eligibility. His post is pool related and is merely an expression of his intention to sell. He can change his mind and never post it for sale. He didn’t assign a price or even state it was for sale, nor did he imply interested parties should contact him. It is a legit post showing us a cue he owns that he may or may not sell. You’d be a terrible moderator not to recognize this is okay to be here but report the thread to the Mods and find out for yourself.
Anything pool related can be posted here and once you turn it into a actual for sale thread, then the mods have to step in otherwise this forum would get flooded. But meanwhile if a reader sees this very cue and likes it so much that he contacts the owner via PM. If they come to terms and he buys the cue, that’s kosher and he’s denying no one else the chance to acquire that cue. Anyone interested in possibly buying just has to use a little boarding house reach. Get off your ass and contact the poster using PM and tell them you’re interested in buying the cue and could you get it?
The main forum is for a public exchange of information, opinions that are pool related. Hey, but I’m also not a moderator. I’m just going by the rules as I know them to be and applying the rules on a case by case basis.

Not reporting or hassling.
He’s new here and just pointing it out if he is trying to make a deal.
All good.
Great…….but that’s now how I viewed your post but we at least concur he isn’t violating any forum rules.

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 a Cue Cody made for me and it is a Great Player I would not hesitate ordering another from him if I wanted another Cue.

Seemed appropriate enough following a post that said Rundes never come up for sale. IMO it was on topic.
Its likely a Ltd or custom built between '94 and '97 based on the "acme pin". Both my acme pin Schön were made during that time frame. The bottom of the joint is capped, where in the standard joint you can see the forearm wood.
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.
Over the years there has been many cuemaker threads where the topic is unknown, unappreciated, up-and-coming, under valued, most underrated, best value, best cue for under $1000, and my favorite best deal on mall store light-up cues
Specific forums for these topics never work. We have the main forum which gets just enough traffic to keep it interesting
