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.
