Best sneaky Pete cue for the cheapest?

Darkridder · Mar 22, 2015

I'm looking to buy a sneaky Pete that plays well but don't want to spend a fortune on it.

Thanks.

Players for $60. I think they're available in cocobolo, zebrawood, rosewood and others.

Lots of good choices. You can't go wrong with any of the brands mentioned so far.

I agree with the Players sneaky. They play just fine, and are priced good.

$100 Schmelke.

Darkridder · Mar 22, 2015

That was easy! Gonna order my schmelke!

Thanks guys!

You should get a Scruggs, buy for 500 now, sell for 500 later.

Scruggs are the best sneaky petes, but I say buy it and keep it!

Just a thought, get the 3/8-10 thread. Nice to have a common thread. Or chose another one, but maybe not so much the "pipe" thread

Otherwise, you can't go wrong. Good cue, heck, they still sell plenty of blanks to custom cuemakers !!

Go to Billiard Warehouse and check out Schmelke's Sneaky Pete cues.

Shoot Safe.

Call Bob Frey and have a Sneaky Pete or custom cue ordered just like he made them for Tim Scruggs in the 70's-80's

You can get one for less, but you won't get one better than a Frey for the money.

I called Bob about a month ago and he said they start about $350. I got lucky and had the opportunity to buy back my first Frey Sneaky. It will never leave me again. Definetly recommend a Frey.

galipeau · Apr 3, 2015

OP stated that he was looking for the cheapest sneaky. That puts Frey and Scruggs off the list.

Schmelke is the short answer. And it's good quality from everything I've heard.

Pechauers has the "Pro Hustler" about $300
Very sweet cue, as nicely figured maple as you can find.
Not custom, but way nice.

* wish I had started this crap earlier *

nice price and value and can be sold later

players and schmelke are awesome especially since you can pretty much order any tip u want on em

also, dufferin phantom cues (wood to wood joint)

of course, not a sneaky, but u CANNOT BEAT players pure x for $120....kamui included

Played with a $40 Players NP for 8 years before acquiring a second hand Players with a HXT shaft. Joints are still tight and shafts are still straight on both. I had to replace the ferule on the np but that was because of playing with a tip that needed changing. Best bang for the buck imho.
