Schon CX03 - Cocobolo with Granite Pool Cue

Schon CX03 - Cocobolo with Granite Pool Cue

Attractive synthetic granite, a stone like material proprietary to Schon, is featured on the Schon CX03 custom pool stick in diamond shape inlays on the forearm and sleeve. Joined by stained Birdseye Maple and wonderful cocobola wood inlays, as well as a black Irish linen wrap with white specks, this cue is the epitome of excellent craftsmanship. The fine detail continues right down to the balabushka style rings of ebony and ivory and thin nickel silver rings. Beauty aside, this cue offers a stiff hit from its piloted stainless steel joint and shorter shaft taper. 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 Schon…beautiful.
