Modifying Sneaky Pete???

Assuming inlaws dont change the weight, should not make a difference.

Damn inlaws always changing their weight.

Generally speaking inlays are installed at about 30 thousandths over the finished size of the cue. That is not to say, however, that an adept cue maker cannot put inlays into an already finished cue. They can.
Also, the hit, feel, and balance of your cue, will be minimal affected.
But, you do realize of course, that once the inlays are installed it will no longer be "sneaky". :smile:

I once had an inlaw who was constantly changing her weight. She'd go from a 19 to a 19 1/2 every other month.
And I don't means ounces either. :smile:

Innumerable research studies on this precise subject have all resulted in the same exact findings. You will definitely notice a discernible and possibly drastic change in feel. Unfortunately, this change in feel will be that of your wallet and not the resulting cue.

It apparently has a history, so I'm of the school of if it ain't broke don't fix it, but that is also subject to change depending on the depth of your pockets. Personally, I'd go a few bucks more and get yourself another cue altogether, and leave your fine playing sneaky as is. Like classic cars; they're only original once...

Right On Bob!

Although it may be a very small amount, you are weakening the structural integrity of the cue.

Really? You might want to restrict your comments to something you know about.
