The Schon CX24 custom cue stick embodies the tradition of excellence that is associated with the Schon name. Set in a background of stained Birdseye Maple, the forearm and sleeve of this fine instrument are adorned with beautiful cocobola, ivory and ebony inlays. The point, cone and diamond shapes combine to create visually appealing designs with an outstanding level of detail. A black Irish linen wrap with white specks completes the look. The cue146s piloted stainless steel joint provides the stiff hit preferred by many players. In business since 1981, Schon employs a small in house staff of full time craftsmen who give great attention to quality. And because the cues are produced in smaller quantities, designer Evan Clarke is able to personally finish and test each cue, ensuring it stands up to the German meaning behind the name Schon133beautiful.
