I have the HXT30, and it's also a decal cue. I've always been really fond of sneaky pete type cues, and I have a player's sneaky pete, and a sneaky pete J/B cue. Only problem is, randoms keep taking my cues, thinking they're house cues, and I have to go hunt them down. I'm considering buying another player's J/B cue, just for that reason alone.

That's the other model I was considering when I bought the HXTE10! While I'm a simple-cue kind of guy, I am a sucker for turquoise ever since my wife and I did about 3 weeks traveling in the southwestern states.

Is your Players sneaky pete an HXT-series cue? If so, which model? I couldn't find an SP in the HXT-series when I decided to buy a wrapless cue.

To keep people from mistakenly taking your cue, maybe you could slip something obvious on the shaft when not in use. First thing that comes to mind is a big sunflower like the one my grandmother used to have on her car antenna so she could find her car in a parking lot! No one would mistake it for a house cue :grin:
 
Bought an HXT30 and literally had my shaft turned down to 12mm from 12.75mm yesterday. I gotta say I like the 12 more, alot more!!

It seems most cues come with tips 13mm, it seems a bit large to me I personally prefer about 12.mm. What's the norm for the rest of you?

I play with how it comes... having it cleaned over the years and stuff takes it down a bit... but im fine with 13.
 
13mm feels like a broom stick to me. I play with a 12.5mm and it feels just right. I recently got a shaft with 11.75 and english takes to it like crazy but having a problem with table length shots that need to be hit softly.

Unfortunately it's just a 60 dollar player's cue. It plays pretty okay, but isn't an HXT shaft. As for the J/B cue, it has a turbo lock, so if I have to go anywhere now, I just put it on the table partially disassembled.
