Schrager Sneak Pete?

[LACthe3rd]

Hello Everyone,

Just picked up what I believe to be a Schrager Sneaky Pete. It has an identical weight bolt to a previous Schrager that I’ve owned. Also that seems to match the only other Schrager Sneaky Pete that I could find which was on sale here by user named Rodcar. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Could be from 1970’s, when Bert first started,

He was in Studio City, CA. He worked behind old fix it shop.

Made most house conversion, and plane cues.

Bert & Pat Schrager

Probably Schrager.

Could be Padgett. Could be Freddie Yates. Probably not Prewitt.

Looks like a carom cue.

Remember ordering Plan Jane from Bert in 72ish, like $75.00 with two shafts, so in late 90's early 2000's $500.00. It was one with Cork Grip.

This shaft definitely has a 3 cushion taper. Very stiff. Right at 13.1mm

I actually have two of these cues that are almost identical. One has a 3 cushion shaft and the other has a 12mm playing shaft. For how old they look to be, they’re both straight.

13.1mm isn’t a typical billiards cue tip. Obviously you can play with any shaft size.
Generally, you want a much smaller tip for 3 cushion. My billiard shafts are 12mm
& 12.2 mm. Smaller is just better applying tips of English on a CB on 5’x10’ tables.

As far as a 3 cushion taper, I don’t know the term 3 cushion taper. Any pro taper is
really just fine but a 3 cushion taper is foreign terminology to me. What does it mean?

It was more of the taper I was referring to. A very stiff conical taper. Definitely nothing close to a pro taper.
