Pechauer Pro ...HOW DO THEY PLAY??

I have a Seyberts SE1 and last gen Break. There's not much to the SE1, one piece maple with the SS joint and the signature, plays great, excellent value for the money IMHO, holding me over until I can afford a nice custom. FWIW the break cue also plays very nice and there are many nights I play/break with the break cue when I don't feel like swapping back and forth.

I have a Pechauer JP series and it plays great, Friend of mine uses a pro series and his also plays very well.
I bought my first "good" cue 16 years ago (when I turned 16) and have been playing with it ever since. It is a pro series from 1996 and I would have a hard time EVER changing to another cue. I have however switched to a Z2 shaft.
Pechauer makes a very fine cue. The finish is great. Construction and fit excellent. Have owned 3 over the last 15 years. All Pro series. Two shot great and third mediocre. Might have been the tip. Hopefully you can hit with it before purchase. If not, fine tune with tip of your choice. For what a used one costs, they are nice buys.
Had the PRO-H sneaky for 3 weeks, just did not gel with the harsh hit.
I have a P17c and absolutely love it.
Good solid hit, great feedback, etc... I'm surprised that I don't see more people playing them. IMO, they are one of the best values out there.
I pulled it out one night and someone actually asked me who I had make my custom. He couldn't believe it when I told him it was a production cue. I let him hit it for a bit and he said that it looks and performs right next to many of the $2,000-$3,000 cues out there... Personally, I would agree.

I just got a JP-08 today and had to go shoot with it after work.. I have a few Viking cues and I would have likely stuck with Viking for another cue had I not had issues when dealing with them directly (last cue I have from them was shipped directly to me from Viking, but purchased through a dealer). Viking shipped the cue packaged extremely poorly and the shaft arrived dented. After getting a replacement sent, the shaft on the replacement cue has a small seam that I can feel between the ferrule and shaft.. Does this affect playability? No.. It doesn't... But quality control should not have allowed that shaft to leave the building... But enough about that... My JP-08 is amazing. Beautiful inlays, the balance is excellent.. The only things I need to get used to is the butt is thinner than my vikings are, even though it is wrapless, I have no issues having a solid grip on the JP-08, and the hit is stiffer, which is indeed not a bad thing. The emerald tip is quite nice as well
I have a Pechauer P11. Love that thing. I also have an older Schon but I prefer the Pechauer. Just yesterday I set up the same shot dozens of times for each cue and I pocketed much more often with the Pechauer and was infinitely quicker at it and that's only because I feel more secure playing it vs the Schon. Even though I've had the Schon much longer.
The Pechauer was sold as a 13 mm tip but when I measure it, it's 13.15 mm the Schon is a 12.75.
Also love the taper on the Pechauer shaft, and the shaft somehow just feels a lot better vs the Schon shaft which is an old original Schon shaft.
Get the Pechauer, you won't be sorry. Give it some time to get used to it.
I love the balance it has, makes it sit nicely in your bridge hand.
Very confidence inspiring.
