What is a "sneaky pete" pool cue? How does it differ from other pool cues?

Answer 1

Good question.  A "sneaky pete" cue only differs because it is made to appear like a house cue or a cue you would find in a pool hall.  The idea is to have a very good pool cue and yet not let others know therefore making it possible to hustle.  For example, if you walked into a pool hall or someplace to "hustle" people for money, most likely no one is going to play against you if you are using a cue that appears nice.

Answer 2

A sneaky pete is a high-quality two-piece jointed cue that appears to be a regular one-piece house cue at a glance.  It's meant to play very well but to not attract attention.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 3

Alex hit the "cue ball" right on it....really intended as a "hustler's" cue.....always wonder about someone walking in with a $1500 cue.....they are either some one really fantastic on the table or some one with a lot of money to spend with no game but with money.....

Answer 4

No big deal it just looks like a house cue off the wall instead of a custom I play with one

go to any cue co's site they all have them
