OK, here is the real deal on Shane's cues:
Shane's mother is secretly a Greek goddess. When Shane was born, she dipped his right arm into the river Styx. Then, when he was 12, he was made to climb Mount Olympus, and there found the sacred lance, Sceptre Joss. Upon slaying many victims with the sacred sceptre, he visited his mother, and found the enchanted scabard Schon. He combined the tip of the Sceptre Joss with the Scabard Schon, and created the new weapon "Stricklandslayer".
Haven't we heard enough about Shane's cue? I mean, really, are you going to go out and buy a Joss or a Schon because Shane uses one? People, give it up. Let the man play pool. Who cares what he uses. He plays well. No one asks what kind of violin Paganini played with, because the talent was within him, not the instrument. I'm sure if you gave Shane a Cuetec, he'd learn to play with it.
