The Schuler Joint... The Advantage™
You need the advantage. With a Schuler cue, you have it!
Advantage: Precision
Probably the most exciting feature of the Schuler joint is
its ability to be interchanged with other Schuler joints. This means that any
Schuler shaft will fit any Schuler butt, and shafts may be ordered by phone!
Advantage: Engineering
The Schuler joint design adds less weight to the joint
than most other cue's stud screw alone would add. The joint has been engineered
to eliminate unnecessary weight.
Advantage: Strength
The Schuler joint uses lightweight metal hardware, instead
of wood-screw, or metal-into-wood jointed cues. Those cues must be handled in
such a way as not to harm the fragile wooden threads of the joint. The Schuler
joint has the strength of a heavy steel mechanism -- without the weight, and all
the feel of a wooden-screw joint -- without the fragility.
Advantage: Transmission
The wood-to-wood contact transmits the full intensity of
the stroke to the ball, without chunks of metal in the way to dampen feedback.
Advantage: Feel
Schuler cues have their weight distributed naturally
throughout the cue, instead of having up to 3 ounces of metal deposited at the
joint. This allows for a better feel in the player's hand.
Advantage: Feedback
The flat-faced, wood-to-wood joint gives the solid Schuler
feel while delivering the power of the stroke and transmitting feedback to the
hand, like a fine performance automobile transmits the feel of the road.
Advantage: Security
The fit of the Schuler joint gets tighter as the faces
draw near. This lets you know that the cue is solidly joined. No more worrying
about over-tightening.
Advantage: Durability
The Schuler joint is also designed to be extremely
durable. With over twenty years of Schuler cues in the field, the
integrity of the Schuler joint has fully proved itself, and is still in use on
all of our cues today.
