Another Schmucky Schmelke Birdseye Bocote Schneaky--BIG BIG Loaded Schmelke!!!

Damn nice. Love the wood of course.

Dig the butt cap.


Would have done brown phenolic joint and brown bumper myself. But that's just personal preference.


Very nicely done! :thumbup:

that is a great looking cue!! love the hoppe ring. where can I check out the brown phenolic. I've rambled and perused their site already but apparently not with enough rambling and perusing.
 
Cue does look very nice. For the money, Schmelke cannot be beaten. Enjoy your new hitter. Matt D.
 
Does it hit a ton and shoot lights out or is it just
going to be a closet queen hoping to appreciate
in fraudulent reserve notes in a depreciating market ? :rolleyes:

Ok, I designed this baby on my last trip to the Schmelke plant in Rice Lake just for you Hercek, Tascarella, Black Boar, Haley, Tonkin, Szamboti, Barenbrugge and Black owners and collectors who feel slighted by the lack of really, really BIG BIG cues that haven’t been appearing on the AZ Billiards Cue and Case Gallery as of late.

I really, really went overboard on this one. I’m used to, and normally prefer, just plain ol’ Sneakies for my collection, but as you will see I added all the bells and whistles known to man on this one. Hoppe ring and collars—how much more can you ask for? This baby is LOADED LOADED LOADED!!!

18.2 oz. Total Weight--No Weight Bolt or Drilling--Just Plain ol' Wood
18.75 Balance Point
13.0 mm Shaft with Triangle Tip
5/16 x 14 Pin

Gol' dang it--youse is correct, Doc (see posting below). Schmelke has a beautiful brown phenolic that I should have chosen instead of the black. Just didn't think of it when I was there designing this thing. Brain Fart.

Very beautiful cue, but would you have maybe preferred a nice BEM forearm instead of the straight grain maple? Was BEM an option for the forearm? In my opinion, BEM looks so much better on a sneaky then the plain looking strain grain maple. Nice cue though (except for the straight grain maple forearm, sorry). I just never cared for straight grain maple forearms (BEM looks so much better in my opinion). Really love the Bocote though.

Now look what you made me do. I don't think I've ever posted on one of my own Gallery threads before. It annoys me when people moderate their own threads to keep it up top, and now I've done it. When people are done looking at it, just let it fall off the edge and be gone forever.

I don't buy cues to look at, even though we all know the whole cue world is dying to replace their custom fancy snazzy decorated jewelry cues with a 9 year waiting period with a Schmelke Schneaky. All I care about is attractive natural wood, weight (18-18.5 oz.) and balance point (standard 18.5 inches +/-).

The best description I can give on the quality and functionality of this cue is a description by a buddy at work who I purposefully annoy the hell out of by talking about my cues to:

"It's a freakin' piece of wood. Who gives a sh*t? Gimme that thing and I'll take it to Alaska when I visit my kid and smoke some fish with it. Put it to good use. Might add some decent flavor."

Nice sneaky. For a minute there I thought it was a Black Boar. :D Probably plays very nicely...That is, provided you don't suck. :eek: :wink: That is my kinda arrow right there.
Great score.
