I am going to purchase a Predator Sneaky Pete with a 314-2 shaft, i was wondering what the difference is in wood to wood or their stainless steel joint? is either one better or is it just what your prefer?
All in your preference. I will say that I feel the steel joints are more rugged as far as chipping or whatnot if it gets nicked on the table. The SP joints that have no rings nick very easily from my experience.
Does the wood to wood Predator Sneaky come with joint protectors?
Thank you for all the replies, and the welcome, I'm pretty new to playing pool seriously, but I am in it full bore so i want to get set up here is my whole list of products that I am going to order once i get some good feedback or not order if i get negative, please let me know what you think.
Predator 4 Point Sneaky Pete S/S Joint No Wrap
Predator Joint Protectors
A Tip Tapper
A Porper Tip Burnisher
A Tiger Leather Burnisher
A Willard Dime Shaper
Sir Joseph Billiard Gloves - Don't like talc, liked the glove i had but it wore out hope these will last a little longer
1X1 Porper Square Signature Cue Case
A Q Smooth Set
A Q-Wiz
And Silver Cup Chalk
I'm looking for any feedback at all on these products as it is a large order and i dont want to get stuck with a crappy product, this will be my starting set up.
I would buy a bigger case, because whether you know it or not, you will probably end up with at least one more cue, lol. I bought a new 3 butt six shaft porper a couple months ago, and its already full, so go bigger.
I was thinking the same thing maybe buying a 2x2 because I want to get my own break cue somewhere down the road but i am still a well above average bar player, I am looking to step my game up, but a 2x2 case and a jump/break cue went over my budget. Maybe just the bigger case for now and a new break cue down the road, good advice thank you.

A Tip Tapper
A Porper Tip Burnisher
A Tiger Leather Burnisher
A Q Smooth Set
IMO these are unnecessary.
Lastly, for a case, if I was in your position, which I was, I would get one of these cases
I just seal it with some Q-wax.
Good luck with your purchase!
I have the pred sneaky four point and I'm pretty happy with it. I sometimes think though if I was to start over, I might have bought the SS jointed version, but I really like the low key look of the wood to wood.
Most, maybe all professionals I've seen using a predator have a SS joint so that might be something to factor in.
Again, good luck!
How do you do this exactly, and do i really need it, i figure my shaft isnt going to get beat up i wont use talc on it its going to be burnished and i am using a sir joseph glove?
