Schon bw2 has now sold, I am down to the schon sp1404 which is a beautiful cue. Check it out at the schon website 625 shipped and will throw in a 3x5 case for 25 extra bucks.

I usually wear New balance 993's if at all possible. They are like a gray suede and not exactly fashionable but they are so comfortable for a long session of beating balls.
I am pretty sure the shafts are 12.75 or 13 and the ferrules are made from whatever they come with from schon. sorry, I am not more of an expert on this stuff.
