Which cue fits your hustling style?

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.

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:

And it probably has secret compartments for hiding contraband.
 
I just thought it might be fun to challenge some existing assumptions...and float the idea of a Bud cue sleeper.

I agree that you don't *need* a cue to hustle, heck, most of us probably could beat the average banger with a broomstick. But if it enhances the persona that you are creating, then it becomes an aid to the hustle.
 
well put...

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

I totally agree with your views.

Who are these guys "hustling"? Beginners or unskilled players aren't going to play for much $ anyway and as one poster put it ... why not just steal lunch money from children?

Good players aren't going to be fooled by these acts one bit and really don't care about what you're using one way or the other. They'll just take your $$ and later, with their friends, laugh about you and your act.

I think these guys have been reading too many comic books.
 
hustle cue

I use a scruggs sneaky when possible but anything with a screw on tip will do.I like Perm's idea of the soft case with the APA B and R patches.I would add the "I beat a seven patch" and duct tape wrap on a "Wallabuska"= super wal-mart special.Asking for help changeing out your screw on tip seems to work nicely for me also.
 
pah-leeze. You don't hustle with a cue....you have a guy try a propostion shot and give him a few hints on how to make it. While he's at the table trying to figure it out; hit on his woman. :eek:

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.

Wallabuska!

Yes back when I needed to spear fish to eat(and we all have been there) the Old Wallabuska was the way to go. The small size fish I speared in those days, I didn't throw any long casts or tip my hat. Mostly just played a chess match and get them because they couldn't get out. If in fact a guy had some speed that I could out match, I would let him win and go on to the next fish. By letting him win I lined up a whole school of fish.

Like some have already said it is not the cue. It is in fact the total act that catches the fish. Fundimentals have got to go. Your approach has to just like a ball banger to look like a Ball Banger. Get excited when you make a long shot, but keep the nice guy image so they don't get mad.

Today there are no real pools halls in my area. I got tired of my good cues getting beat up in bars. So I bought a $ 44.00 (tax title & lic) Players Sneaky Pete that I now shoot with. I live in a small town so everyone knows my speed, No way I could do fish spearing there.


BTW Step up one notch and the Cue doesn't really matter. Today even beginners have Big Cases full of different cues. Those are the fish I go after today. To me they have sign on there forehead saying "Take My Money".
