He was called Schon van boening back then…
Any player still use Schon cues?
- Thread starter Darkside7
- Start date
That is funny
, but think Pro Players play with what is free, or 
, is attached to use.Just like other sport pros.
Nike pays Tiger Woods big bucks to dress in Nike cloths.
JA’s cues are warm and dry in the vault well taken care of. All accounted for.

The older Schons from Bob and Evan's tenure almost always hit great. Some are incredible. There's almost a mystical intangible about the older ones that still holds true today. If you know, you know.
I still happily go back to them, even after diving into various customs since getting back into the game. In fact, I should add another, LOL.
In my opinion, and I hope to eat these words, I believe Schons best days are long gone. If I were just starting out today and seeking a good starting point with a new, contemporary cue, I'd look to Mezz.

There is really no difference between Schon and Mezz quality, and even hit feel with similar joints they are very very similar. Try playing around with different shafts instead.

But have you played with an uglier?
I'm pretty sure how the Schon cues look are very much your own opinion, classic looks and designs stay around for a long time. Plenty of old cars still look good today as do shoes, shirts, pens, etc...But have you played with an uglier?

I think he played with the cues that were in his family in the earlier days before he started the Cuetec sponsorship. I think Cuetec was his first cue sponsor, even in the beginning the R360 he played with was one a friend of his gave him. After that he got the official $ from Cuetec.
LOL - I probably have.But have you played with an uglier?
I've had several people comment on how nice the SL-5 is. Definitely a classic design.
Who cares what the design looks like.? A Merry Widow is fine as long as the cue plays to your satisfaction.
I’m thinking you’re hung up on cue esthetics versus how it plays. As your cue acuity expands from trying
lots of cues, you’ll discover even a cue design you dislike can still feel & play like a Stradivarius in your hands.
Conversely, a design you fall in love with can play like a duck; it always comes down to the cue maker, not the look.
Think Schon market is the player who want a sold, well build Cue, Made in the USA.
They are like a Ford, Dodge, GMC, or Chrverlot basic two door no frills no bell or whistles work truck.
More function then fancy work of art, limited editions, or paying for some builders fame & name because they are in vogue this week.

I'm almost obsolete. I'm enjoying a Schon H4. Something about it. Especially with a 12.4 REVO

I’d love to find one with the wrap. Would give me an excuse to add a schon to line up.
At my places we have around 10 new Schön cues 4 sale, lots of Mezz and Exceed and some IQ cues, anyone who are interested in a cue are free to try some of our demo cues from all brands and shafts. And I notice that todays players do not even look at or wants to try a Schön cue, it just never happens.
I love my older Schön cues from the 80/90s, but I do not play with them anymore since they are way behind in playability and technology vs newer cues like Mezz/Exceed etc.

I have been playing with Schon cues since 90', and have zero issues with my older or newer Schon cues alike. They all hit great. How a cue feels and hits is a personal issue. It's been discussed many, many times on here that just because a certain pro plays with a cue or uses a certain tip, doesn't make it the best cue/tip available. Find what works for you and use it. Some of the best players to have ever played used a Schon cue, and while technology has evolved the market, the tried and true Schon is still around. My current cue is a wrapless Schon, only a handful of years old, and it plays every bit as well as the first of my Schon cues that I purchased back in 90'.
Pretty hard????? dude makes sense maybe once a year. maybe.How about a little proof reading before posting. Pretty hard to tell what you are trying to say here
I’d call him a broken clock, but the clock is right twice a day……
