Im looking to buy a sneaky pete I think I've narrowed it down to either a bob freys or a predator my budget is around $300 cheaper would be better but i've heard alot of good things from both of these any input about these or about others brands possible cheaper before i spend my money would be very appreciated another thing is what are the pro's and con's of wood to wood and ss joint I've shot with a wood to wood Joss sneaky pete and I wasnt really to impressed with the feel it seemed like it was butt heavy, but the guy also had his shaft turned down a pretty good bit I dont know if that anything to do with it, I would really like to hit with the cue before i buy it. So also if anyone knows anywhere around northwest to Atl where i can try out one that would be helpful...Thanks guys
