Schon cues have a stiff hit due to the stainless steel piloted joint and shorter taper.
Schon cues are produced in smaller quantities in order to concentrate on quality.
Schon has a reputation for tradition and mystique.
Exotic materials are used in making the cues, which increases the value.
"Schon" is German for "beautiful"
