Bob Frey sweet players cue

Very nice cue and i am sure it really is a player.
My opinion
Adding the black or white veneer would change the whole look of the thick green veneers. I have seen them done both ways but it definately changes the look of the points. When you lay my cue on the table and walk away from the cue about 10-15 feet you can still really see the color well. As a big fan of the thicker veneers especially when they are doubled I really like the look of these points. I think the thinner veneers that are currently the "trend" are not near as nice looking and pronounced as the thicker type of old. I have seen some cues with the thinner veneers where the veneers appear wavy and also some that appear to bleed together. My next cue purchase or trade will have to be a cue with the thicker veneers, it is just what I myself like better.Ken_4fun said:

More pictures
Anyone else have any Frey cues other than the sneaky pete versions that they care to share pictures of. I will be looking for a 4 pointer with veneers and either an Ivory joint or phenolic joint while at the SBE.

Coming soon
I will soon have a Frey Bacote Sneaky pete to go along with this cue. Can't wait to have a pair of Frey's.

Nice cue, Kevin! I, too, am a fan of the double veneered points...in particular when it's a colored veneer that is doubled and sandwiched in between a thin border veneer. I think the double veneers can really 'pop' the forearm of a cue. And that is exactly what the double green veneers did with this cue!! Very nice indeed.
