I recently heard that Schon now has a sneaky pete. I was told it was
shown on the cover of Billiards Digest, but have been unable to locate a
copy around here. Can anyone tell me exactly what it looks like? Also, I
heard that it didn't have a steel-joint.. Has anyone played with this
cue, by chance? Does it FEEL any different from all other steel-joint
Schons? Thanks.

?????????????????? I think it has 6 or 8 points also I have heard that it has
many Ivory diamonds inlayed, I think it's called sneaky because they inlay them
so that 4 diamonds actually apear to be 1 big Diamond. It also has large Ivory
windows with the name Pete scrimshawed in them ( I'm not sure if they
personalize ) maybe Bill or Jim or something, I'm sure can order it with a
metal joint or even Ivory, why would you want anything else. If you leave some
chalk on the tip and keep the shaft dirty they will never see ya comeing.

A Sneaky Pete would represent a major design change for the folks
at Schoen. :)

I saw that picture also. It is very highly figured wood - much nicer than
any house cue. Probably coco bola or bacote. It appears that they use a half
splice (four points) and then join a separate grip/wrap area of the same
wood. The seam between the two is hidden by a ring of four diamonds at the
base of the points, obviously inlaid after the two butt pieces were joined.
Is this making any sense??? Don't remember the joint. It is very pretty, but
hardly "sneaky".
