Underappreciated Cue Makers Section

cuesblues said:
Over the years there has been many cuemaker threads where the topic is unknown, unappreciated, up-and-coming, under valued, most underrated, best value, best cue for under $1000, and my favorite best deal on mall store light-up cues

Specific forums for these topics never work. We have the main forum which gets just enough traffic to keep it interesting

I’m not sure what your point is. I’ve been in this website a very long time and I don’t recall ever seeing a thread about unappreciated cue makers as the theme. So I’ll let all the readers of this thread chime in with their 2 cents but I have to
challenge you on that point. You say specific forums for this type topic never work and I don’t know if they do or don’t never having seen a forum on Az for that specific category.

Maybe I missed it down thru the years and someone can refresh my memory since I am getting old. But I’ll willingly concede you did make a good point that there’s the main forum which is sufficient to keep it interesting. If you go back and read the opening post for this thread, I acknowledged there wasn’t any forum for this topic which is how come I created it.

Now having explained, or basically equivalently restated what you posted, I’d just like to point out I started this thread in the Main Forum just to keep this topic available for all to read or post their comments on. I never suggested nor did I propose a specific new forum for unappreciated cue makers. I further went on to explain it’s the very reason for this thread that seems to have aroused some interest. So what then was the intention of your post? No one, and I certainly haven’t, proposed a new forum. Oh well, post whatever you like but maybe next time put a little more forethought into what you write and then reread it before posting because, IMO, it would help understanding what you’re referring to?
 
FishKife ~ you are correct about the joint not showing wood surrounding the pin.
Mine showed all stainless joint collar. U thought that strange as I had seen a few Schon's before and they all showed wood in there.
I've read here that some didn't like the hit and some praised it highly.
Personal preference I reckon.
Good luck with you sale IF you decide to sell.

FYI, Bob Runde left Schon in 1992.

It's not my cue and never suggested it was a Runde. Also, fully aware Runde was long gone by the early 90s...the cue he pictured just has the same joint as the worst playing Schön cues I ever owned...lol.
The Runde Schön cues are hands down the best players, but I'm also aware a few people love the Evan Clark cues and get super butt hurt if you call it "The Acme Joint". Segan cues brought us the piloted radial joint...another innovation no one wanted or needed.
Schön are a dime a dozen in my area...nothing special and hardly under appreciated. They are mass produced cues...
