Avid pool buff....been playing for 50 years...1st cue I ever owned is a beautiful Palmer that's all Cocobolo wood. The next cue I purchased was 25 years later and is an original Bob Runde Schon he produced to my design specifications back in 1984. It's a one of a kind original produced exactly how I designed the inlay which has four large ivory inserts in the prongs set within ebony and five large ivory inserts in the butt piiece. I think the cue is the most beautiful Schon has ever produced based upon the strikingly simple inlay pattern that's without a single flaw and is symetrical in every aspect. I still own both cues and when you achieve perfection, at least to my satisfaction, in getting that one of kind, special cue like I own, your desire to acquire another cue diminishes every time someone compliments you about the cue you own....Thank you Bob Runde.
