I dont have an scale to tell you the specs you are requesting. The only additional info I can add is it has a weight bolt. I also dont know how to measure the balance point on the cue. I wish I can help you further but I cannot. Sorry!:o

Just to let everybody know

I had quite a few Sneaky's which include Perry Weston, Paul Dayton, Bill Mcdaniel, Bob fry, Meucci and others also that I've tried in the past but none of them came as close to the stiffness of this one.


This one is solid as rock!! too bad I cant get use to it.

put the cue together and balance it on your finger. mark the place by holding the cue there and measure from the bumper to that place where your finger is. should be in the 18'' range. try to be as accurate as possible to the 1/4 inch .

  1. Assemble the cue
  2. Hold it in your left hand
  3. Stick out your RH index finger like you are naturally pointing to someone directly in front of you
  4. Lengthwise and with the butt end on your RH side, place the cue on top of your pointing index finger so that it balances there (i.e., adjust contact point between the cue and your finger until 1) the cue doesn't fall off your finger anymore, and 2) it stops rocking back and forth)
  5. With your left hand, grab the cue so that the RH side of your left hand abuts the RH edge of your pointing index finger
  6. With cue in hand, go find your tape measure (it's probably in the garage with your tools) Be careful not to mistakenly ding cue when passing through doorways as that will tend to lessen its value
  7. Once you located your tape measure, measure from the base of the cue up to the RH side of your left hand (recall that it is still holding the cue)
  8. Remember the dimension that you just measured and subtract from it half the thickess of your index finger (for me, that's ~3/8")
  9. Report back with the results
 
ok....
