As JB said in post number two, Schon did a lot of mixing of models. The one I've had for about 25 years has the R12 forearm and the R15 butt sleeve with blue veneers. Yours is likely a custom order mix and not a specific model.

Why don't you just have Wes make you new shafts with his stiffer, more conical taper? I have one of his cues with the shaft tapered that way and it plays awesome! Just a suggestion.
Good Luck,

Can't blame a guy for trying can ya? :grin:
Seriously though, if I were you, I wouldn't part with that award knowing what it took for you to get it! I just googled the award and came across an article in Fine Woodworking Magazine that shows a picture of you next to the reproduction piece you...
That's an interesting piece you have there and I'm very familiar with Mr. Maloof's work. Unfortunately, I prefer furniture. Now, if you were offering one of his rocking chairs, then I'd try to deal with you! :grin:
Good luck,
Randy
Another "Tri-State" area is LaCrosse, WI for WI, MN, and IA.
As far as handicapped tournaments or leagues go, there is no such thing as a perfect one and there never will be.
Definitely go the custom route! For that price range I would consult with either Rick Howard or Pete Ohman here in Florida or Keith Josey in Georgia.
Good Luck,
Randy
I believe the picture of Mika on the AZB Home page correctly reflects this thumb position you have described. Mika's thumb is straight down and not wrapped around the cue.
