Schon pool cues have a stiff hit due to the stainless steel piloted joint and shorter taper. Schon cue sticks are produced in smaller quantities in order to concentrate on quality. Schon Cues has a reputation for tradition and mystique. Exotic materials are used in making the cues, which increases the value.  "Schon" is German for "beautiful"  It can be possible to change the weight in a Schon pool cue about 1 ounce. You can change the weight using a large flat head blade screw driver. Quantities of Schon billiard cues can be limited. Please try to have several selections when you are ready to order. Wood types, stains and veneer colors will vary.
