How it plays: Schon cues have a stiff hit due to the stainless steel piloted joint and shorter taper.
Highlights: Schon cues are produced in smaller quantities in order to concentrate on quality. Schon has a reputation for tradition and mystique, using exotic materials in making the cues, increasing their value. "Schon" is German for "beautiful".
