For a girl in our club. just a four prong sneaky with a wrap (open to any wood on maple combo) and black or brown joint/butt cap -- y'all know the cue.
Would prefer it to be an inexpensive custom (my budget limit is around $150), but let me know what'cha got...

Here are the preferences:

* Must be 19oz or less (target = 18.5oz)
* Prefer big pin flat face wood joint setup
* Looking for a stiffly tapered shaft between 12.75mm & 13mm
* Irish Linen wrap
* Standard length (58")
* Would like it to balance between 18.5" & 19" from the butt, if possible.

PM me with any info and go ahead and post or send pics (jdelcue@emory.edu) along with the specs...:D


Thanks!
- Joaquin.
 
Hello Joaquin

Check out my thread on the predator xbreaker combo to see if it is suitable.

Best regards

Did you ever consider checking out Bill Dominiak cues? He has brand new custom cues starting at $99 shipped for a basic curly maple cue with or without wrap. The next one is $149 shipped for the curly maple cue airbrushed with color, what Bill calls "KandyCurly". I just got one, and it hits great. Great deal for the money. Comes with a 3/8 x 10 pin, and you choose the options: Black or classic tan butt cap and joints. Pick your wrap color. Pick your "kandy curly" color. Pick your weight and tip diameter. He can have the cue on your doorstep within a week, and it is a good hitting cue. may not be a Sneaky, but certainly a lot of custom quality for little money, and easily in your budget. Check out his website. And let me know what you think.

Yup. I've been telling people about these cues, too...lol
But the gal wants a wrapped sneaky.
 
You can't get much better than that wraped sneaky that Gerry is selling. It used to be mine, it has a nice hit.

I hear ya. They sure look nice. Do you know if the cue had a weight bolt? I'd like to make it lighter, if possible...


Thanks,
- Joaquin.
 
Just wanted to add that any 4 point wrapped cue ought to do...
Just said wrapped sneaky because I thought those would be the cheapest. But a wrapped 4 point that looks similar would do the trick as well...
 
Also, if you've got a wrapless, let me know...
Maybe if it's inexpensive enough, I could just pay the $ to have my local cuemaker cut the groove and add the pressed linen wrap...


Thanks,
- Joaquin.
 
I'll sell you one cheap......it's a little over 150 but it's a great cue. It's got a long taper but it doens't hit whimpy at all. 12.5mm laminated shaft. If you don't like it I'll take it back. I like this cue so I won't mind taking it back.


215 shipped.


It has bacote points and buttsleeve, it weighs right around 19oz and has a removeable weight bolt of about .3 oz. So it could come out to about 18.7-18.8oz. Well anyway, it has a Brown with black linen wrap. Sorry the picture isn't that good but if you are interested I'll send you better ones.

Didn't see anything there...

Maybe some new cuemaker out there wants to take up the job? At least build me the butt if I supply a shaft, or do the whole thing...its up to them.

...although I would rather have the cue in her hands sooner than later, so keep hitting me up with what'cha got! :D

I'm waiting to get my camera back from my buddy tonight otherwise i would have sent pics already. But these cues are sweet. I purchased each one for 350. Sold the bacote one 3 weeks ago and recently purchased it back. The only reason I'm letting it go so cheap is because the second owner had the shaft taken down to 12.5mm. The ebony one is in my daily rotation. It is that one and a plain jane PH sneaky with white collars. If Joaquin doesn't want the cue it will be for sale in the forum at the same price.

Don't have my camera yet but I found the photos the cuemaker sent me before completion. The only think different is the wrap. The wrap was changed to a brown w/black linen wrap. Other than that, that is the cue. The detail isn't that great and it looks so much better in person. When I get my camera back I'll send you pics of it. This is just so you can get an idea.

Lol. Same thing as you -- 12.5mm shaft. Plus I'm not really fond of laminated shafts, but I guess we could see how she likes it if we buy her the cue...and while the points are pretty off, I'm hoping that playability would make up for it...lol :)
Oh, and let's not forget price :p I know its worth it, but I may have no choice but to pass...I'm going to speak with her and the other guy helping me make the purchase...

I'll be in touch...gimme till Wednesday night? I'll have a definitive answer by then! :D
