Schon cue tips

[Duane Remick]

I saw that a while back.

I contacted Seyberts about them as I no longer saw them listed on their web site. This was their response:

"Hello, we do not have any in stock at this time... Schon has limited production on there tips. thanks"

Sounds like it might be worth it for me just to ship my shaft to Schon and have them do it. I could spend a fortune in tip installs otherwise.

Are there different brands of Water buffalo tips? I used "WB" brand at someone's suggestion, but it is definitely not the same tip as Schon's.

The "W B " tips ARE DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME AS SCHON TIPS...
" I have tried the wb, not the same.
I recommend a PRESSED LE PRO- See if you can get the 15MM LE PRO-
15 MM ALWAYS BETTER QUALITY THAN THE SMALLER ONES...
"NOT SURE WHY,
BUT MY EXPERIENCE-
the smaller tips poor quality,
2nd recommendation
BROWN HARD KAMUI

The closest thing to whatever water buffalo tip Schon uses is a tip that is no longer made,the reddish-coated one piece Sumo. That is based on personal results. The Sumos can still be found,but not common.

Whatever Schon uses is typically thicker than most,but the closest thing out there these days is indeed the WB brand that can be had from any number of places online.

The trick is simple really. Just re-press them to your liking in a good,solid vise.

Evan never told me what they were actually starting out with,but added that their "proprietary" tips are indeed re-pressed to some extent.

On the other hand,it's not uncommon for even a new,thick WB tip,including the ones that come on new Schon shafts to be too hard for the user's liking. Tommy D.

I was able to contact Evan and he is shipping me some tips. Am hopeful that solves my problem. Thanks to all for your advice.

"proprietary" tip,

You have to remember that they use a pad as well. I'm not sure if it is a standard pad or their own thing, but if you want it exactly like new, you need to have the pad.

Contact Segen cues. Saw Mr. Clarke at VNEA internationals and ask the same question, he said he has some to sell at a good price.
