Lower deflection solid maple shaft with Schon joint?

[ben3595]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a lower deflection solid maple shaft, but definitely with a Schon joint? (not generic 5/16x14).

I really like the hit and feedback of the Schon shaft, but the deflection is epic. I have tried several laminated low deflection shafts, and they all hit too soft for me.

I'd be happy for a brand name shaft, McDermott and Tiger both do LD solid maple, they don't have Schon joints off the shelf, or a fully custom shaft if someone is making something special.

Alternatively, if anyone had a recommendation for a more modern cue (Radial, 3/8x10, etc) that hits similarly to a Schon I'd welcome it too.

Regards,

Ben

It wouldn't be a problem for most cue makers to make a maple shaft with a short, light weight ferrule and a Schon pilot and ringwork.
