Thanks, probably my bad!
Thanks, I was in a hurry and didn't catch that he might be referring to the cue weight.
It takes a sick puppy to fight a 12 ounce pencil tipped cue on a bar table when the cue ball weighs over half what your stick does. It was extremely frustrating for a month or two. Then one fine day things started coming together. I gained the kind of cue ball control that could tease the suckers along for days or tie champions up in knots. Heavier cues are ten times easier to play with, the light cue puts you in a whole new world if you master it. The cue's weight no longer does the work so you have to do most of the work but this also gives you far more control. I play with a heavier cue now but if I ever get my own table again I'll work with the superlight cues some more. I want to try making one using a G-10 pin too.

What I don't get is when the definition of sneaky pete changed... I came up thinking it meant "looks like a house cue". Then it became... what... looks like a cheap production cue when really it's an expensive production cue? Looks like a production cue when it's really custom? Looks like a house cue if the house got really nice unique cues? lol.
Sometimes I don't wonder if it's the brainchild of some marketing genius. "well, we have some low level plain cues we gotta move. They play ok but look boring as hell. Let's call them sneaky petes."

If I am going to a pool room, I am going to bring my player, and Jump/Break cue.
If I am going to a bar....I may only bring my sneaky pete in a small tube case...I am not trying to fly under the radar or anything...I just know that in a bar you have a much better chance of getting your cue dinged up...not to mention that using one cue on a bar box is more convenient (to me) than two cues and a bigger case.
