Players Who Use Schon Cues

The pool cue you shoot with can have a large bearing on how well you shoot pool. You can throw the old adage, "A good craftsman never blames his tools" out the window when it comes to playing pool. A cue that you are comfortable with in terms of balance, weight and design makes a world of difference. Schon cues are the cream of the crop in delivering a sturdy cue that is reliable and predictable on every shot.
