How do you tell if a cue has real Ivory in it?

Prior to Predator and Mezz, Schon was pretty well recognized as the best production cue out there, also the most expensive. There's no reason to doubt they were using ivory for their inlays or that they have lied about their product.

Having played with a preferred carbon core LD maple shaft, I was hesitant to go full maple, especially with older shafts from the 80s/90s. It took a little adjusting to the softer hit, but I can attest that Ivory ferrules really have a unique feel. I still go back and forth and am amazed how different they are. The sound is indeed satisfying, but what I most appreciate is the softness on a hard contact really makes for a buttery stroke.

Maybe it is 90% psychological.. I couldn't say. But ever since I found a straight older maple shaft with a pristine ivory ferrule, my game has been more fun and controlled.

For what it’s worth.
 
Sell it in your own state unless you have proof it was built prior to 2016 and only ship to states or sell in states that have no additional Ivory bands that are stricter than the federal trade restrictions.
