Schuler question
- Thread starter BKB
- Start date
There is a company in Illinois which took Schuler Cue's inventory when Ray died. They had a single butterfly listed, but no doubles. I've only seen a single butterfly in person and only one of those. It was in Ray's shop at the time. I told him I didn't know he made those. He laughed and said he made a little bit of everything. There aren't a lot of them floating around. I looked at your cue every time it came up. I already have a fancy Schuler and can't justify buying another, or it would be in my case already. I'm glad it found a home.
Ray had a catalog which included about a dozen or so cues he made repeatedly, but he also made lots of versions of each and a lot of one of a kind cues. I got to see 'The Czar' cue and a Cuelmanns cue. They were gorgeous.

Thank you for your reply. I also saw that single butterfly. I wonder if there is another one like mine out there... Although, being that I am not a collector (I just like to have many different cues 
) I will play it whether it is unique or not.
I think I paid a lot for it, but I am not sorry. Took it out to play, and I was very happy with the hit. It is just right for me. Even better than the 20 year old Schuler 4-pointer I played with many years ago. So damn close to a one piece cue hit... It is interesting that I do not even mind the fat butt or the light weight, while I always liked the thinner butt cues. You just do not feel it when you play. I guess it has to do with the weight distribution.

I'd say you got a bargain.
