Which of the following (3) cues would most closely match your hustling style?

1) Sneakiest Pete cue.

2) Budweiser Graphics or Eagle Cane cue. A really good cue disguised as a Budweiser cue or a cane with an eagle's head (see drug buyers cane in Easy Rider).

3) One Piece Player's cue by a custom maker in house cue livery.


And just to start it off I'll admit to liking the #2 idea as it has the element of misdirection.

depending on who you're after number 2 seems like the best idea
 
cue for hustling... hmmmm... house cue?

edit: ohhh... of the three.... #2
 
you can limp around hustling people ....

but the guy who wants to outsmart a banger for a couple bucks..

was pretty weak to target the low hanging fruit to begin with

remember only a banger thinks the cue makes any difference at all

anyone with an actual stroke..

can play the game with any cue.... anywhere,,,, any time..

you don't need lies and tricks to win money at pool....


all you need is a decent stroke...

just sayin

Anyone who's out looking for a fish is someone I probably don't want to attract to play me.

But if I did feel like I'd probably have the best of it when someone walked up wanting to play, I'd have a Predator butt and at least 4 different Predator shafts (314, Z, Z2, 314 with a different kind of tip, etc.), and I'd be practicing easy shots, and swapping out shafts every few minutes. Guys who fit this description are always good enough to think they can win, but never really that good. If I were a hustler, these guys would be my target, and therefore if I were trying to attract hustlers, that's who I'd imitate.

I use a Sneaky Pete. Iam thinking about getting some cues of sports teams that everybody hates. Tampa Bay Rays, Dallas Cowboys, Steelers. Nothing against the teams just a good in to get the blood flowing.

How about Obama & George Bush Cues anybody getting my drift lol I am in for 10%.

You could put a good shaft on anything
 
Whatever my current playing cue is.

I play for the challenge , the experience and to grow as a player. I'm not sure how or why pool has so glorified dirtbags stealing. Rather than having to tricking a lesser player in order to steal why not just wait at a school bus stop and take the kids lunch money ? It's even easier.
 
I've seen the best playing with crap house cues, and the worst with customs. Your cue doesn't mean ish to me in terms of playing ability.

One of my favorite old timmers had a two piece sneaky pete cue shaft that was litterally shaped like an hour glass from sanding.

I can't remember the last time a pool cue decided a match but then again what do i know. I still stand by the best way to get a game, and it isn't baiting them with a crappy stick but talking a good game.
 
Hustling is more than just the cue, it's an event :grin:

A good base is a cheap, beginners Viking, Muecci, or other entry level cue with color.....skulls is a plus....just something cheap from a pawn shop...
Next, you need a case.....something cheap, maybe even a little beat up, needs to be vynil, maybe hold 2 or 3 cues.....sew on a couple of apa break and run patches....
T-shirt....preferably from a local softball or other sports league....remember, you are good at that sport....you "used" to be good at pool....
Phenolic tips - jump on the bandwagon about the ban....your break cue "is being worked on" because of the ban....you used to make 2+ balls on the break with that magic cue, now you only make 1 if you are lucky...
The story - the two apa patches are two break and runs you made in just two weeks....the first week, you played your buddy in a race to 3, and in the last match you broke and ran to win....the second week, you played an SL6.....he won, but you broke and ran the 1st rack....you should have beat him, but he got lucky :grin:
The game....open bridge, always hit the balls a little harder than you have to....the only english you are allowed is draw....no runs over 4 balls, two way shots for your miss....oh, at least once, rack the 9 on top because you "mostly play 8 ball"....if he tries to switch, tell him you cannot play 8 without your break cue....every time you miss, complain about the size of the pockets, or look at your cue, or check out the pocket, or complain about the chalk....

LOL, you got it down to a science. You just described about every player in my leagues.

A personal favorite are the cues with pics of wolfs or women on the crown.
 
I've always been partial to a Walmart Budweiser cue with an unmarked Predator shaft.
 
.

my girlfriend says to me.... "hey my old boyfriend was awsome at pool and he left his cue at my mom's house" So I'm thinking yeah OK bring that puppy to me and I'll check it out. So this went on for a while and her mom finally brought it over. So I'm excited maybe I'll score a nice cue for free:smile: NOPE!!! I'll need to get pics of this beast... it's one of those sticks that comes apart in 3 or 4 different places.:eek: I wouldn't even use it to hold the door open, But for the right price it would make a great hustler cue:cool:

Very hard to stroke with all those joints:wink:
 
Lights out

My daughter bot me a cue stick for my last birthday. When you hit the cb it lights up some red bulbs in the clear lexan butt cap. I thanked her. This could be a hustler stick if someone is interested. I am not sure how to replace the batteries though if the lights stop working.

If interested-I could tell her that it was stolen from me.

Just kidding-I figure it will become my grandsons's first cue.

He currently hates me anyway since I threw his tennis shoes out of the car on the freeway when after several 'requests'', he wouldn't take his f##king shoes off the dashboard. NOTE: We did pull off the freeway and came to a complete stop before the final 'request' was made and again ignored. The 'sneaker-ectomy' and 'toss' quickly followed. I may have scarred the child for life. Nahhh!

Grampa gets grumpy sometimes.Have a wonderful day.
