Agreed! Schon makes a great playing cue at a fair price. I really like the hit, feel, and balance of mine quite a lot.
I was just recently over at Schon and had John rewrap my cue with white/black linen instead of the standard black/white. He was really nice, did the rewrap for me while I waited, and even helped me out with another non-Schon shaft (Runde) I had that needed the joint faced and he did a perfect job, it now rolls dead straight on my other cue.
