Pechauer vs. Schon

I'm better with a wedge!

Though this a pretty much an anti-production forum; I notice that Schon still gets TONS of good ink (so to speak) on here. Is there a reason that Pechauer is not held in the same regard? The PS and SP Pechauers are right on par ($$$) with Schons and might be a bit lower if considering # of inlays, woods used, etc.

I'm thinking of buying a Pechauer that I demoed, and wonder if when I want to trade up or try something new, if I should get a Schon instead due to resale value???? I tried both and like the Pechauer a bit better....

Lil help??

The other cue I tried and liked was a VERY pretty Olivier (curly maple with cocobolo veneered points w/an ebony inlay in each point and on the butt). In other words, it was a bit plainer, but looked great, and had a nice hit to it too.

Dude, whatever you play better with...get it. Fu#$ resale unless you are in the profit and loss end of cues. There are plenty of guys that do that on AZ. My cue is nothing special. Tulipwood Omen. Sold it once and begged for it back. I feel comfortable with it. You'll make more cash in the long run with a cue that is comfortable. What's resale of an extra $100 bucks when you've made $5000 with a cue over a year. Just a thought. If you're a collector, consider it. A player? Be comfortable.
 
Pechauer vs Schon

Have owned 2 Pechauer and at least a dozen Schons. Prefer the Schon hit. Pechauer does put a beautifull finish on the cues and they do hit good. All depends on what you pay for the cue. Resale is muck strongerfor Schon. Pechauer is harder to turn over. Oliviers have a different hit entirely as are not ss jointed cues. Presently own 2 Oliviers and both hit real nice. Once again depending on what you pay, resale for Olivier is quicker and you will recoup better persentage of original investment. Buy new and neve get your money back. Buy nice second hand cue and could get 100% return. My 2 cents
 
How much is the cue costing you? Being a demo you should be gettin a great price

If you like it buy it. I wouldn't worry about losing or making money from either cue. They are both decent players and that is all they are intended to be.

Hey Crawfish, You talk Schon you got to speak with Jose. He has a nice collection. He is by far one of the nicer guys at the Tap..

Pechauer makes great cues, some of the older P series are gorgeous and hit straight as an arrow. I guess some people just don't like SS joints.
 
If you have an opportunity to play with the new Schon iv shaft you should try that before you make a final decision. It could change your mind.
 
I really got to go with the J. Pechauer. i have one and it plays like no other. i got rid of my tad, Josswest and Jensen(mike makes a great cue too). i believe that dollar for dollar you will get more with the JP. call them up, ask for John and tell'em John Harmon sent ya. they can do a lot to customize a cue for you and not break the bank.
 
Every cue hits different, different people will always like different cues. There is no one cue that is best for everyone. Trying to base Pechauer and Schon prices off of playability is tough because of that. However, there is more hype about Schon, most likely because Pechauer makes cheaper production cues overall. Their higher end stuff is still good, but a lot of people don't look past the JP-01s. Sort of like how people look down on McDermotts and Meuccis even though some of their higher end stuff shoots amazing.

people look down on McD's and Meucci's because of the way they are made now - eg. meucci's use plastic inlays; sometimes entire parts like the butt of a cue are plastic, sometimes even painted on ones - even the high end stuff. Older Meucci's and D-series McDermott's were great because of the way they were constructed, the good ol' fashioned way :cool:

I had a production Pechauer and loved it. I gave it to my nephew as a present and he likes it as well. Pechauer, is the best hitting production cue in the market. Schon cues are very attractive but don't have the balance nor hit like the Pechauer. Listen, if you like it...stick to it!! No pun intended!!

You may be onto something. I have a really old Meucci 97-21 (I know its old bc of its yellowing), and it looks a bit diff from the ones they sell nowadays. Looks much better, and hits amazing. The original pre-dot shaft is pretty awesome, puts a lot of throw on the cue ball.
