I slept Ray Schuler when I put up this thread - surprising since in return for my help in promoting his Schuler cues to pool players (early on it was mostly all 3cushion players who were playing with his cues), Ray made me a custom cue to my specs for free - I played with that Schuler cue for about 15 years - Ray made an excellent cue, and like Eddie Laube, he was innovative, with the excellent piloted, wood-to-wood joint that he developed....
...here's a pic of Ray with another Ray who had a little bit of talent when it came to pool cues -> very nice guy, and one of the greatest 3cushion players/champions of all time, Raymond Ceulemans >>>

If memory serves right, Schuler didn't arrive on the scene around Chicago until the mid to late 70's, actually when R. Cuelemans made his second trip to Chi-Town. I knew Ray S. well, I could of had any Schuler cue I wanted to play 3C with, I just didn't like the hit! They felt a little, 'soft' for me.
