Todays Sneaky Pete cues

[George the Greek]

35+year old Dufferin Sneaky Pete. It's 17 0z and turned down to 11.5mm and I use it as a break cue. It's straight as a die and if I put a quality tip on it I could use it as a playing cue as it hits that good. I had the black ring installed after somebody picked it up thinking it was a housecue . All the housecues at the time were Dufferin 1 pc at the poolhalls

As someone mentioned, it's hard to keep those joints clean.

My first sneaky pete was a Meucci. I managed to mess that up pretty bad by sanding down the joint area. Don't remember if I sold it or if I broke it with one of those quick "taps" to the table after missing a shot.

Never got good enough to have to worry about people thinking I was a hustler, but the Dufferin was cheap and made for a great break cue at the time.

I really like this! I have several very old Dufferin basic 'house cues' which are all in very good condition. I'd love to have one made into a SP, the more plain, the better.
What you've done is pretty much what I have in mind. Now I just need to find someone to make the conversion for me.
