Ive been trying to decided on which custom cue route that Im going to take soon. Im looking for playability value and resale. My current playing cue is a higher end schon sl 23, which plays well. I've have narrowed it down to a Mottey, or Bender. Price range under 2500.00 I probably will buy a like new,used one cue via,ebay or personal sell. How does their hit compare to each other....vs the schon hit. I like the stiffer hit. of the schon...so Im looking to improve on that. If its going to be real similiar...Id probably just keep the schon. Iv'e seen a lot of pos comments on how the benders play...not much feedback on the motteys?....also it seem to be more motteys floating around for sale than benders? Ivory joint vs ss for either. Thanks.
