Meucci Cues , Are they the Real Deal

Meucci has for a long time had a stigma about themselves as being troublesome in the billiards industry. To tell you the truth, we had heard so many bad stories from other dealers that we had never approached them in the 7 years that we've been selling pool cues at Cuebux.



But, last year we had a great opportunity to start selling for Meucci, and decided to try them out.

Meucci Cues is based out of Mississippi, where the grass grows on the plain? I think that is how it goes anyways.



Meucci seems like its a good old boys club, with the crew cracking jokes and playing possum whenever necessary. One of my favorites there, though I rarely ever get to talk to her for long with the recent increase in pool business is Felicia.



She will lay down the law to the guys, and pull strings when necessary. I did have some problems with orders flip flopping at one point. She kept it business like, paid for return shipping, paid again, and even called my customers to appologize for us. That is a classy lady.



To get to the point, I think things must have changed over at Meucci Cue, because I have not had a problem since the before mentioned.



Meucci cues are cut on a panograph machine, The same kind most cue makers were using back in the day.. Before I was born. Essentially the Inlays and pockets are cut by hand, and you could not tell unless you took a microscope to them. At least not on the pool cue's I've taken the time to inspect with a magnifying glass.



Perfectly cut points, Circular cutouts and amazing fine inlay work. They really do take pride in their work.



What's more? Who the hell can find 35 layer micro laminate stock?? No really, I've tried. The Meucci black dot has literally stolen a good deal of your patronage. I have people calling in with Schon Cues, McDermott, you name it asking if we can have a Meucci Black Dot shaft made for their cue.



Of course the answer is, Yes.

There truly is not a shaft in the world that we could not make, or have made given the right time and money.



You want a 24 karat gold ferrule? You bet!

A Uniloc, Cognoscenti Meucci Black dot with a .25" Green G10 Ferrule, and a pressed ingot tip.. Thats easy.



The only thing they will not touch, which I can respect is Ivory Ferrules. We do have Elforyn Ferrules though that should appease the senses.
