There have been some great suggestions on this thread, imo.
A USA schmelke for a c-note, that's great, but you will have their name engraved on it.
L'il Al Romero sneakies are total badass players. They are somewhat hard to find and even moreso in a 'true sneaky' configuration. Might have to special order if that's what you decide.
Tim Scruggs, what can I say? I am a total believer and have owned quite a few. I have a few I could sell including one that has never been chalked, all original.
I do have something else, however, that I believe might work for you. And it's 59". :thumbup:
I had an old Brunswick (estimate 50 - 70 yrs old) cue converted into a hotrod true sneaky to my specs and it is not only gorgeous, it plays *perfect*. I don't say that about many cues.
It's 59" with an old Westinghouse micarta ferrule and milkdud tip. Shaft has long taper and hits stiff. Looks like a new house cue, plays a few hundred times better.
It features some of the most beautiful straight grain sapele wood I have seen. I requested the vintage brown bumper for that old-school look.
It's straight and in new, test-hit only, condition.
$325 shipped conus, if interested.
best,
