I actually saw a batch of those style of cues when I was at their shop a year or so ago. They probably had about 30-40 in different variations ready to go out at the time. For me that is one of the better variations.

Does this mean that when the cue is retipped the person replacing the tip, starts with a 13 mm tip and uses a lathe to widdel a 13 mm tip down to 12.7 mm?

Yes. Most cue repair/cuemakers just order 14mm and turn them to match the shaft/ferrule. Centering a 13mm on a 13mm (or 12.5mm even) is almost impossible and frustrating. There's no room for error. Using a 14mm and turning it down is much more efficient than trying to center something to a gnat's ass measurement.

No, Schon predated Tiger products. Schon switched from single-layer wb to Everest a few yrs back. They haven't used ivory/micarta for ferrules for a long time.

Yes, that's what I was saying.

I just ordered a STL - 7. The shaft is described as a 12.7 mm. The tip (Le Pro) is described as 13 mm. Does this mean that when the cue is retipped the person replacing the tip, starts with a 13 mm tip and uses a lathe to widdel a 13 mm tip down to 12.7 mm?

Thanks in advance,

Great cue. Same model McCready used in early 2000s and played so jam up with (used a Moori Med tip).
