    Spoke to him Yesterday and he made no mention of shutting down. I ask him about his Sneaky Pete cue he builds and told me that he could build one in about a week.

    👽 2021 Marks the 60th Anniversary of "The HUSTLER"

    Could be. But it seems the movie if made right could spark some interest maybe. But you may be right. Pool seems to be at the end of the spectrum. Then again I seen were a Billiard store has installed it’s 63th table since November 1st so maybe with everybody staying in pool May make a comeback

    👽 2021 Marks the 60th Anniversary of "The HUSTLER"

    It was not meant to be a pool movie. Pool was just the sideline. It is a Movie about a Hustler who comes to grips with himself. But it brought pool back to the forefront. A big surge in pool in the early 60’s thanks to this movie. Same thing happened when the Color of Money a big surge in the...

    What's in your case?

    My cue , a sneaky Pete at the Moment. A cue slicker, a microfiber towel , a 3 in 1 tip tool and some Masters sky blue chalk. That is how I usually roll most of the time.

    Best Non-laminated tip?

    On pressing a tip how long do you press it for and does it matter how hard it is pressed. Do you press it lightly or do you press it as hard as it will go. Does it need to be pressed for several hours or just press and go. May give that a try to see what happens. Thanks

    Best Non-laminated tip?

    What I meant was that I like both tips of and my tech installs one that is good. I take the shaft to him and he installs it then I go home and try it out. Unfortunately I have had to make the 1 he trip back to have said tip removed because it was junk. I would be inclined to buy a box and weed...

    Asking for a friend. What is the best cheaper Sneaky Pete to buy

    I thought I heard that before Garc , for the price I don’t see how you could go wrong and the grain in the butt wood is very nice. The shaft grain is nice and tight. It measures out to a 12.9 , I like a 12.5 myself but for how nice it is you could live with it. The butt is Cocobolo wood and I...

    Asking for a friend. What is the best cheaper Sneaky Pete to buy

    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...

I spend more time about worrying about scratching or putting dents in them than enjoying playing with them. It takes all...

    Meucci black dot shaft??

    They suck. Hate them. Played with 3-4 different ones on 3-4 Meucci’s. Hate them. Meucci is a poplar cue in our neck of the woods. I have played with probably 30 different series cues thru the years and the Black dot shafts suck. The Red dot 🔴 is my fav and that to me is the best shaft they make...
