Here is a pretty little cue that won't last long. Sneaky Petes by any of the top tier cue makers are hard to find. They just don't make many. And this one is brand new and ready to go. Most of the time these sticks don't even make it to my website, as they sell locally as quickly as I get them.

It's made from all ebony and birdseye maple. The wood is exquisite. The nose is full of pretty "birds eyes" and the ebony is deep black. Finishing a nice long piece of ebony like the one in this cue is always a difficult job, but the finish on this one is typical Chris Nitti - as perfect as human hands working with a natural organic material can do.

Of course, the best thing about Nitti cues are the hit. They have one of the most consistent hits of all the cuemakers I know - a nice solid hit, quiet but firm, and a shaft taper and balance that always pleases.

He also adds a nice Hoppe-style ring above the butt cap - another nice touch without being flashy.
|
Just look at the wood in the nose - beautiful birdseye maple. It's the kind of wood cuemakers usually save for their higher end cues.

He dresses it up just a bit, with his nice slot rings at the joint and on the ring collars of the shafts.
|
As always, Chris signs the cue under the finish - in this case, on the maple at the base of the points.

This really is a unique opportunity to snap up a hard-to-find cue. Sneaky Petes from any of the top makers are rare, and finding one brand new is difficult. And, they tend to hold their value well, many of them even growing in value over time. Here is a custom made cue that doesn't cost any more than some of the better (but ultimately lesser) production cues on the market. (And those depreciate the day you buy them.)

| He builds it with his traditional radial stainless steel pin, in a flat-faced joint. It is 58 inches long, weighs 19.4 ounces, and comes with two of his premium 13mm shafts with elforyn ferrules and layered Wizard medium tips.
