You are bidding on a Schon Pool Cue!  This pool cue has been gently used and is in REALLY great shape.  The only problem that I can see with it is that the rubber butt tip has apparently dried out and is flaking aroung the edges.  CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS!  That should be easy enough to fix!  The cue measures approximately 58 inches in length and it weighs approximately 19.5 ounces.  It is marked "Schon" on both the butt and the forearm.  This pool cue does not come with a case.  I e-mailed Schon to find out the model of this cue and they told me that "it is an STL15 that could have been made any time in the last 10-11 years.  New it is $1100.00."  No kidding!  E-mail them yourself at info@schoncues.com! Schon is German for beautiful.  The cue is a Balabushka-style cue, but over the last twenty years Schon has made a myriad of improvements in performance, construction, and design.  The basic cue is constructed as a three-piece butt.  The center section, or "under the wrap," as they call it, is a laminated unit of various woods which helps maintain straightness and consistent play from cue to cue.  The cost of this piece is astronomical in comparison to the standard maple under the wrap, but nothing is sacrificed for performance.  The top of the cue, in 85% of all instances, is bird's-eye maple.  The rest of the time exotic wood tops are used which are drilled and cored with laminated maple to maintain weight, consistency of hit, and straightness.  Their stainless steel joint has a phenolic core, which they pioneered over 25 years ago, and has since been adopted by many of the well-known cuemakers.  This construction helps reduce weight and also softens and transfers the sensitivity of the hit.  The bottom of the cue is made from various materials such as bird's-eye maple, ebony, or other exotic woods, terminated by a Delrin butt plate which yields the best durability fro a section of the cue which takes much abuse from day to day.  A little cosmetic quality is sacrificed because they can't finish over the Delrin, but it is infinitely more repairable and maintainable.  The primary objectives at Schon Cues are good play, performance, and durability.  All inlay work is made from what Schon Cues calls "high integtrity" materials.  In some small instances, they substitute high tensile synthetics in the ringwork where the structural integrity of the cue is best served.  Shafts are Northern hard maple with their own proprietary ferrule.  They tend to resort to the form over runction rule regarding the cosmetics of shaft wood.  Schon hit with every cue and shaft that they have ever made, and after all these years cannot make any correlation between tight grain, color, weight, and good hit.  The proof is in the hit, and since they make a very small amount of cues, they have the luxury of being able to tune each piece that leaves their shop.  Specifications: Butt material: hardwoods Shaft material: rock maple Standard length: 58 in.
