It's been less than three weeks since I got my Schon H4 back. It seems longer than that.

Initially, I was extremely happy with the cue. In fact, I shot well and didn't lose a game (one-pocket, 9-ball, 8-ball, or banks) out of the first thirty or so games I played with it. I still haven't lost too many, but a problem remains.

It's hard to describe. The cue makes me work too hard. It's not very relaxing. My Predator sneaky is relaxing. The balls just go in, and the cue ball just goes where I want. I don't have to try as hard.

The Predator, despite having the same Kamui medium tip as the Schon, has a softer hit. I'm thinking that maybe that's what I need. So today I'm going to take the Schon in and get an Ultraskin soft put on it. I think I'm also going to try to get another 1/2 ounce of weight on the cue.

Maybe this will all help. If it doesn't, then I guess I'll have to go back to using the Predator as my regular cue. That would piss me off, because it's my least favorite cue.
