Schon or custom SP?

Thanks for all the replys...

Danny: Please send pics to jbatin@ucsd.edu

Fred: I guess consistent wasn't the exact word I was looking for. I'm trying to switch to a simpler game. I used to move the cb all over with some pretty good control. I started doing it more for fun and because it made me concentrate harder. But now I'm looking to take my game to another level, and I see no need to make shots harder than they need to be.

I have not taken any picture of the cue yet. But here is what the cue looks like. You can find pictures on the internet by typing schon cx03 in your browser. I will take pictures ASAP for you.

I shoot with a Schon STL8. I have a predator shaft for it but went back to the schon shaft for simular reasons.

It's unlikely that you'll find a SP without a ss joint that will balance forward enough for your taste. OTOH, I think any reasonably balanced cue (1"-2" above wrap) will do fine, and I prefer a forward-balanced cue that is also EVENLY balanced, which most ss cues are not (at least not in the 19-19.5 oz range).

Note: I talked to and hit with a couple of Ned Morris cues at Valley Forge, and they hit fantastic, and I believe he's in SoCal. He told me he's starting to build a line of very basic cues; the ones I hit with were w/o any inlays or points, just a fancy ring at the buttcap. Maybe minus the beauty ring it'll be close to your budget.

Hey 32-n-d,
I sent you an email to the jbatin@ucsd.edu address...
Thanks,
Erik
 
Going off what Buddha was saying about the weight...I found a $20 Walmart cue that someone threw away (broken cue whose joint was screwed on too tight and unscrewed between the joint and the forearm). And that cue had a great balance to it. It was a heavy cue weighing in at around 20-21oz, but the thing that made it feel so good was that the weight was distributed among the whole cue...not just at the joint and weight screw.
