I now play with a schon cue and I love schon cue but need to ask something......is there any other brand cue that almost the same hit as a schon cue? I love schon but I don't wanna spend another 400+ more money on another schon. Unless there someone out there got a good schon for sale or something.
 
I heard that Searings hit pretty good just like a Schon. just kidding.

I think it's a difficult question to answer across the board. I'd say that many SS 5/16" - 14 cues feel the same to me. Certain Joss' come to mind. But they are the same price point and above. Then you have Falcon cues who used to make the Predator butts. I'd say similar hit and feel. Old Mali's also. These just off the top of my head

Hits pretty subjective and tough to compare but in my experiences....

I'll recommend the older Mali's too. Usually you can pick them up in the 80-150 range.

Also recommend the older Helmstetters. I see quite a few of these moving for under 200 dollars on ebay.

Both those cues give you a nice SS jointed cue at a reasonable price.

I personally felt as though those cues reminded me of the few Schon's I've hit with.
 
Falcons ,Joss,bruswicks Jensons and many others will hit pretty much the same.The biggest test it to find one you like the balance and feedback from when striking
the ball.The rest are semantics and more about design and the visual design of
the cue.
Don't ever let the look of the cue detour you away from buying ! If it plays like a champ
forget about the look.

I can say Joss but I like the hit of a Joss better. You can get a new plain jane Joss for $200 or less.

Check eBay you can get them for much less there.
About 6 months ago I got an 800 dollar Schon for 400 + a few bucks shipping.
I routinely see Schon's go for 200.

Also you could look at a used Pechauer.
I have one and find the hit very similar to a Schon.

A Benson if you can find one, actually you would be amazed at how they hit,,, he is retiring after he sells these 4 cues, actually there were five but i snatched one up, if i had the money i would have bought all of them, they are sure to go up in value.....
 
I have a schon now stl 2 i think, that hits a ton to, dunno if i will sell that when i get that benson. ivory ferrule with a new moori tip.
