I play with a Joss these days but if it wasn't given to me, I would have never tried it. It hits well, but not like a Schon. I haven't even seen a Schon around here, or any nice cues for that matter. I know there is some truth to the saying that it's not the cue, it's the shooter. But, in my opinion, Schon's are the best. Just an opinion, that's all. I've been away from the pool scene for so long I wouldn't really know a nice cue if I saw one anyway. So, does anyone here have a Schon that they would like to part with? Let me know soon, so I can get rid of this damn Joss!
