When I was 13 I’d ride my bike 3 blocks down to the pool hall and play people 5 dollars a pop with wall cues. Fun times. This post wasn’t really about why they’re sneaky’s. It’s the fact the originals were wood to wood, no logo plain Jane cues and now people have destroyed the original image by putting ring work, joints etc… I’m a sucker for classic shit. And too many things have been changed over time. Where people forget why a sneaky Pete was built the way they were. If they put like deluxe sneaky Pete on ones with joints and stuff, that would work. But putting the sneaky Pete name on a cue with ring work, joints and logos just because it has a 4 point splice butt, ain’t it brotha. That’s not original to the name.
Over the years just about any full splice wrapless has become a sneaky. I agree with you here. I remember the first time i saw a Meucci sp. Road player Earl Keller(Kellum?) came thru Tulsa and he had one.
I still have one. I like the wood to wood hit of the joint.
Hey Johnny glad everything went good bud ….. I got covid 1 day before B’ham . Started feeling it and took test so I would know for sure and yeah , got covid now for 3 weeks just about . Feeling better , taking another test this afternoon!!!!!! I’ll definitely get with you , I’ll probably get back out in March / April. Bass fishing
tome lol . Stay safe brother
The J&J sneaky for 80bux is a helluva cue for the $. Same pin as a Meucci.
Man that looks like it plays like a Monster
and meucci red dot used to be available without collar. plays like old school meucci shafts iirc
They changed the RD. Now it has some front-end lightening ala the Pro shaft. https://www.budgetcues.com/products/meucci-shaft-red-dot Probably plays good. 250 seems a tad pricey. 425 for the sneaky is also kinda out there. J&J or a Players for under a C-note tuff to beat.

My uncle has a sneaky from the 70’s. I really like the wood to wood joint. You fully fill the hit in your back hand. He said it originally had a wooden pin also. But something happened to it and he had a metal pin installed onto it instead. I’ve tried to buy it from him a ton of times. Won’t let me get it lol. He always says it’s the cue he took to Vegas 4 times and it’s his lucky. He will never get rid of it unless his grandkids start shooting.
Glad to hear you're on the mend. We have great bassin' here!Hey Johnny glad everything went good bud ….. I got covid 1 day before B’ham .

Mine is "pre dot" stuff!
Wow. You have some nice cues in your stash!
Just tested negative, feeling good and about to hit some 9ball !!!!!! See ya soon
I have 9 cues that are called "sneaky", I like the wrapless four point style. But in reality the sneaky that I carry is a Mcdermott Harley Davidson cue. Rather brash, like a Budweiser. They make a Jack Daniel's model too. That should work.
Back when Bill Stroud was in Tulsa he made a guy i played league with a 'Budwesiser' Josswest. Talk about a sleeper.

That is how I picture you slippin' into these joints and doing work. Getting paid.
