Those Diveney's are nice!
Asking for a friend. What is the best cheaper Sneaky Pete to buy
- Thread starter PoolFan101
- Start date
but pricey! like 800 bucks for a sneaky with a small butterfly at the end, lol
I have both and beg to differ. The Schmelke shafts play way better than the Players shafts.
How a shaft plays to you isn't what that comment was about,since anyone can say that about any shaft
it was the construction of the cue,
I've had both as well, I'll back players over everything I've tried

My Schmelke is constructed just as good as the Players.
This is the model of Players I have.

Here is my best Sneaky, but not quite sneaky. Murray Tucker built in 2000. One of the first five cues he ever made.

Yes!! That is a good looking cue.
On the Players vs. Schmelke debate.....I have hit with a few players SP's and I thought the hit and Quality was nice, especially for the money!! I have yet to personally handle a Schmelke so I can't compare them. I have an older Purple Heart Meucci SP that has a standard no dots..no bs shaft on it that I love. The only mod to it is the ferrule was shortened up some a few years ago.
I think the Players Sneaky Pete shaft has a noticeably more deflection than any of my Schmelke shafts.
It very well may. I will take your word for it. My game has a lot of deflection in it too!
Yep, the same place everyone’s $500.00 cell phone and $600.00 television is made..

Nice assumption, but neither my phone nor my TV were made in China, they were both made in a non-communist country. We all have choices in life to make, I choose not to support a company in a communist country which just so happens to be the biggest adversary to my country. Other people try to pay the least amount of money they can without ever considering the ramifications of supporting countries other than our own. To each their own.
For what it is worth , The Players Sneaky came in and it is a really nice cue. Very Beautiful Cocobolo wood that is very nice and the shaft is equal in niceness as well. The Cue is one of the Nicest sneakys I have seen in the price of admission. I have seen $ 500 sneakys that was not this nice. The points are straight and even and the stick feels really nice. He has not hit any balls with yet but plans to in the next day or 2. Players quality seems be spot on as far as looks and detail. I also like that when you put it together you have to look for the joint line , very nice indeed
Awesome!

Here are my pics for the highest quality cues in that price range.
Lucasi Zero Flexpoint Pool Cue | Curly Maple Sneaky Pete Lucasi Cue (seyberts.com)
Joss JOSSP01 Sneaky Pete Cue (pooldawg.com)
They are not true sneaky, but they are sneaky style.

Lucasi is far higher quality then either of those.
coworker had a merry widow lucasi, it was well built and played good
but the players sp i have, theres no better built cue ive ever held, my mind wont be changed
perhaps i got lucky and got their best cue ever made
someone even wanted to buy it off me once for the grain lines in the shaft,
and the zebrawood is super nice in this one, its been complimented plenty of times
Players is made on same machines in same factory as Lucasi, ADAM, Predator. Very good cues just not as fancy as the others.
