Probably a stupid question, but can a Schon cue be made any lighter if the bolt is already been removed? Like boring out the butt some? I told you it was a stupid question, but at the same time, a serious one.
A lighter joint pin and/or replace metal joint is going to be the most effective way. You can get a little bit out of the handle, but it wont be a lot unless you bore it out more than you probably should.
Always easier said than done. I have a Schon with a messed up pin that I’ve been trying to remove for a week now.
Good morning
I changed one once. I wish I took pictures like I do now. It was a lot of work. Schon has or had a policy of not touching one of thier cues once someone else works on it. Try to get them to repair it. The one I did was really different than the normal set up we are use too.
Care to expand on that? Is there something locking the pin in place?
I wish I could remember the exact details. I remember removing the joint. It was a long time ago and I didn't keep the records I keep now. Did you get the joint screw out yet?

ALL joint screws should have a flat to prevent it from spinning.
Pretty sure this pin could have had nothing and still give me trouble. I’ve heard on more than one occasion that Schon uses slow cure epoxy on their pins.
You would be messing with the cue's integrity by then . And disasters can happen when drilling the handle.
You're already messing with the balance by a lot without that bolt.
