I would like to read some opinions on how the newer Frey sneaky pete cues hit?

Are they super stiff hitting cues, or what words would you use to describe their hit?

The reason that I ask, is because I really do not like a super stiff hitting cue, like for example, a Phillippi sneaky that I had years ago (which was the stiffest hitting cue that I ever played with, and for that reason, I just could not play with it).

I did not care for a Scruggs sneaky that I had (like 15 years ago) either, because the hit was way too stiff for my liking.

I understand that a lot of players really like a very stiff hitting cue, but I am not one of them.

Thanks for any opinions about this.

Frey built the Tim Scruggs sneaky petes as I understand it. So if you didn't like the "Scruggs" you probably wont like the Frey.

Just saying.

The Scruggs sneaky's I've had have not been stiff. Few cues with a pro taper are what I consider to be stiff. Frey sneaky's are very neutral, solid playing cues. I would compare them to a Pechauer or Joss. I would definitely recommend them.
 
with his pro taper it is a perfect medium hit to me. Not whippy and not too stiff either and lots of feedback. His sneakys are prob the best sneakys I have ever tried. I have a plain Jane ebony in the works with Bob now and can't wait until I receive it. If you get one and don't like it, you should be able to sell it on here pretty easily because of his reputation on the playability of his cues. Hope this helps.

Okay, so if I like the hit of a JOss sneaky, then I would probably like the hit of a Frey? The Joss sneaky pete cues I had when I was a kid (in the 90's) hit amazing to me. Really loved them. I guess it is all about how the shaft is tapered. Thanks

Yes, I think so. I have a Frey sneaky and love it.
 
Bobs cues are the truth. A true craftsman of cues for those that play.
