Predator Sneaky Pete Question

[cueball2010]

The first SP’s used to be full splice and I liked them.
The later ones had an ugly “predator” branding on the forearm.
I’m sure that the new ones are not full splice, just look at the wrapless version.

What is the difference between Full Splice and True Splice?

I don’t know what “true splice” means, probably it’s a half splice.

Thread 'Different Types of Cue Construction explained. What's Best?'

Oct 2, 2023

I currently play with a Meucci Curly maple cue and the Meucci Carbon Pro shaft. It appears to be on piece construction with multiple diamond inlays. I've been interested in trying other cues. So, what advantages do Full Splice cues have in terms of performance and feel over other cue designs? Is this the best cue design for optimal feel and performance? Let's couch shaft performance for now. I know feel and performance is subjective to a degree but bear with me; there is a difference between Toyota and Ferrari so is you like your Camry this post is not for you.

I get that the OP may want to pair a butt with a shaft, but there are so many great custom full-splice sneakies to look for on the secondary market without getting a Predator. Loaded Tony Sauer as one example below.

Does anyone know what exactly this matte finish is? I would love to have this on my old Predator Roadline SP.

Roy Mason had some unfinished Predator full splice blanks (rosewood with the green&black veneers) from the Falcon factory a while back. Maybe he knows where one might be, could lead to someone to make one for you. I bought one (a blank) and had Canadian Cue finish off the cue, but it's not full-sneaky as it has a small black black collar and butt sleeve. Of course the veneers are not so sneaky either.

Good luck with your search.

I have a falcon predator green veneer no wrap with SS joint with a pre cat 30” shaft. Love that cue.
