Looks like it has the pogo stick option, AKA the limbsaver.
If you are someone that likes to bump your stick on the floor a lot, then yes the limbsaver is for you! If you are not someone that bangs the butt end of your stick on the floor a lot then it's not for you. All they do is add weight to your cue and make the balance more forward, which is not generally preferred. As opposed to a more forward balance which is genereally preferred. IMHO
Thanks.
I was wondering if those things actually help sore wrist, etc. I couldn't quite get the concept of it being on a pool cue.

If the force travels from the tip hitting the cb up the shaft to the butt, how can a thing at the end of the butt do any good, re vibration?
And is it a problem, a vibrating pool cue? I never knew it was but I haven't given much thought to that or felt so much vibration that I wanted to do something about it. Hell, I'm lucky if I can keep my arm from shaking.
Thanks,

Thanks, Fred. Coming from you, I believe it. Maybe some day I'll get a chance to try one.

Yup, it's an older and IMHO prettier version of the CX03 than what they sell now. Then again, I'm biased (see avatar). My points are all darker, though... I believe mine are ebony, not cocobolo. Definitely not rosewood, which is what the newest version of that cue looks like to me. Too red to be cocobolo. Then again, I've only seen the newer version in pics and I'm not a big fan of turquoise in pool cues. Personally, I would not have bought mine with the color mix they are using now.
I actually called Schon to inquire about having mine refinished and asked when they were making them with the ebony/granite colorings. I forget who I was speaking with, but he said that he didn't know what years, but he added that they change the stone and wood inlays from time to time to keep it interesting for them and for the customers. So there are several variants of that cue out there...
It's one of those cues that's really more beautiful to see in person than it is in pics. I've had numerous offers to buy mine, but it's a keeper.

The only thing I thought of when that thing came out is that it helps prevent the vibrations from going back up the other way once they hit the end of the cue. Never tried it but seems Fred has, would be interesting to find one to try out just to see what the difference is and if it's any better. I'd guess it would change some cues a lot more than others.
