got my lucasi sneaky pete

[seanjonsean]

well i call it sneaky pete , i think its a great cue to have hanging in my room next to the pool table but im looking for a decent cue to carry with me evrywhere , one of the things i like is the uni lock i can break it down in seconds and go take a rr break it has a solid hit ,the only thing im gona change is the triangle tip ...

I'm going to show some of my ignorance when it comes to pool equipment here. What is the definition of a "Sneaky Pete" cue? Is it the look, the feel, the maker etc...?

Thanks in advance

Sneaky Pete is pretty over used now. A true sneaky pete is a hustling cue designed to be almost impossible to discern from a house cue when put together. Nowadays we have "Fancy sneaky petes" and cues designed in style of a sneaky pete but they have ringwork and are obviously not "sneaky"

You Jim Sickles Sneaky Pete is one of my favorites, I'll bet that thing is nice and dirty and "sneaky" as well now...

Indeed. At this point it's pretty much impossible to tell where the shaft wood ends and the butt begins. Jim really did a great job on it and the looks aren't everything; it really plays great to boot.
