Your original post cited the search "pool cue review".
And you edited your original post as well.
Let's look at the first three reviews under that first AZB link.

Wow, that's great to hear Drawback, thanks. I'm sure a few others watching this thread will be tickled pink to know Bob is "keenly interested in making sure his customers are satisfied", especially a friend who bought a Meucci in the late '90's for about $450. He had owned Scruggs,Joss, Mali, Viking, and played only at home, (one-hole/straight pool). Cues never left yet the Meucci warped, rings, inlays popped within 2 years, he sent cue in & they "couldn't find it". Around Thanksgiving I'll be making my rounds at the graveyard & let him know about Bob's keen interest!As I've stated many times on this forum, I have always had great luck with all of the Meucci cues I've purchased over the years. I've bought them in pool halls, from personal friends at their homes, from Budget Billiards and from Bob, personally at his factory. Never had a problem with one of them.
Bob is a very friendly guy who is keenly interested in making sure his customers are satisfied. I own quite a few cues now and every once in-a-while I add to the collection.
The last time I saw Bob, Julia and Barbara, I played banjo and fiddle for them in the factory. We all had a little fun for a few minutes after Bob gave me a pool lesson.
They're wonderful people making a wonderful American product and I'm proud of them and their product.

I seriously doubt he's a chameleon rotating independently from a lousy cue maker/repairman to a talented cue maker/repairman in the blink of an eye. He's an artist and one hell of a good one at that. He knows wood having worked with it the better part of his life and he knows design. He's been able to create some beautiful masterpieces.
With the amount of cues that have been made there is bound to be some that have some defects. (Like I said, I've been lucky). Have there been times that the repair has dragged on, perhaps many times over the years. He's tried to service what he creates and sells. Most of the problems associated with his cues are from improper care from owners, I'll bet on that.
But, yes, I'll stand by what I said. He's keenly interested in making his customers satisfied with their cues. He wants the return business.

Sorry Mr. Meucci but you imply anything negative said about your cues is either false or part of some conspiracy and I have a difficult time believing that. I've never used one of your cues but I've read so many comments on this forum, from so many different people, that are so consistently negative that I would not consider a Meucci. I have some friends at my local pool hall that play with and swear by "original" Meucci's from many years ago and even they say your products aren't what they used to be. I have to assume there is some reason for what seems to be a broad consensus that for at least some period of time you simply weren't on top of QC. I've seen CEO's that seem to want to argue with their customers before and while I understand you're proud of what you do at some point listening to what customers are saying rather than disputing them and being in denial may be a better way to go.Meucci Cues-The Standard Of The Industry
Back On Top
To all Meucci Cue players and those of you considering what cue to purchase, take heart, here are the facts:
Meucci Cues have been made exclusively in only five locations-
From 1963-1971-Chicago area north suburbs as BMC Cues.
1975-1979 Memphis, TN on Getwell Rd
1979-1997 Olive Branch MS (there was also a smaller satellite factory that operated in the late 80's and into the 90's in Senatobia MS, in addition to the Olive Branch facility)
1997-2006 Sledge MS.
2006-Present-Byhalia, MS. This is our current location.
Meucci Cues have NEVER been made in China, which has been falsely stated in this forum.
Unlike other manufacturers, such as Predator, Lucasi, Players, some lines of McDermott, Viking, and several other brands, Meucci Cues are totally made, in our shop, from raw lumber and materials to finished product, with the exception of the leather tip and the rubber bumper (side note-at one time, early on, even the rubber bumpers were made by my wife in her oven at home!)
FYI-In the last 42 months, Meucci Cues have won more prize money and more tournaments than all other brands put together, and that includes the so called custom cues that in some cases are just assembled from parts bought from suppliers, blanks, joints, joint rings, etc... We at Meucci make it all from raw stock, making us one of the only true custom cue makers.
We invite anyone interested in seeing our operation to come visit anytime, and like the last three years, I will be here to welcome you. Our address is 3709 Highway 302, Byhalia MS
Bonus FYI-Who are the players that are doing all the aforementioned winning you ask? Well, I'll be happy to tell you-how bout this list?
Loree Jon Hasson, Jayson Shaw, Dennis Orcollo, Skyler Woodward, Chris Lawson, Mike Massey, Max Eberle, Kevin Cheng, Corey Deuel, Devin Poteet, Dennis Hatch....the list goes on, my apologies if I left someone out. These players are going out with our cues and winning-not with specially modified one off cues, but cues just like the ones that can be purchased by anyone-our cues are built to perform, and each one is built that way-they aren't assembled and then over-modified to make them perform-we build each one of them to perform, and that's what they do. What was said in the past is still true to this day-One Ball Better.
In the interest of full disclosure, in 2006, we had a line of 6 cues designed by me and 80% manufactured in China, and we ferruled, tipped, and reshaped and finished the shafts here in our Byhalia plant. This was the Medici line of cues, and it was clearly advertised as 80% made in China, and 20% finished in our plant. 100 cues of each model were sold under the Medici label, and the decision was made to cancel the line due to inconsistencies in quality.
In closing, anyone on a forum like this can say anything they wish, with no facts or proof, and hide behind the anonymity of the internet-the less informed are allowed to say anything, true or false, mostly false....
But now you have the absolute truth about Meucci Cues.
