[LSUTIGRE]

Newbie post i know, but Ive been looking at cues in the 500-800 range and have narrowed the search to joss and schon but i am unfamiliar with the two companies, any help that can steer me in the right direction would be appreciated!!

Both are long respected companies making good products. Try them both and buy the one that feels best to you.

Many versions of each.

I play with a Schon LTD 315 that I picked up for $500 and think it is great. I have a 314 for it but actually play with the shaft that came with it.

If you plan on putting a 314 shaft on either one then I would say just buy the one that you think is the prettiest, feels right, sounds right.

Joss comes with a 13.25 mm pro taper shaft, Schön is 13 mm with a conical taper. Feel is subjective.

Both are good but I'd take a look at some custom
cues in that range. Shurtz, Keith Josey, Jeff Olney,
Jerry Rauenzahn, Pat Diviney. All better than any
production cues.
