Mike sigel meucci?

[Blackjack]

The guy Meucci should be honoring today is Dennis Hatch. I've seen the old lock and key design on a couple magazine covers because of his playing.

I remember St Louie Louie's name on a George case, but I never saw it on a Meucci.

I remember a thread (from a while ago) where the subject of Louie's Meucci came up, and someone (I forget whom) posted a picture of it. Trying t find it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, maybe we can start another thread to see if they could report the picture.

Sounds like a pretty 'out there' story to me. I'd have to have Bob or Mike confirm something like that.

I was there. Ask Mike S. about it.

I should add, have you ever been around Mike S. when he is losing? It is everybody fault but his, in this case the cue.

Does Dennis play with a Meucci now?

At one time not long ago, he was playing with a Dishaw, but I think he may have sold that cue. The picture of Dennis playing with a Meucci may be a file photo.

I just looked at some AZ photos...and it does look like he has a Meucci with a 314 shaft.

> I remember seeing an ad posted for Mike's Meucci on a site several years ago,seemed like it was Tampa Billiards. They wanted like 35k for it.

Mike won no telling how many tournaments with the Joss/Kersenbrock combo John Wright sold. He played with another high-end Joss for several years. Either before or after his association with Joss ended,he played in the '93 U.S. Open with the aforementioned Gina.

I've seen at least a dozen OLD Meucci's in Memphis that Louie either played with then sold,or he was given and sold. As far as a "line" with his name,I've never seen one,but saw at least 5-6 that had his name engraved/stamped on the forearm,that are probably still being played with at least occasionally in Memphis. The other 5-6 I've seen were cues that were basically pristine,because they were bought from/given away by Louie himself. Tommy D.

If memory serves me...Meucci had a Sigel series cue called "Captain Hook" and it actually had hook inlays in the butt sleeve.

Oh man , A frend of mine had one of those cues back in like 97 while i was living in Puerto Rico but could not help but wonder why there were fishing hooks on it . But now so many years later i finally found out what the deal with the fish hooks on the bottom of the cue.

Thanks for the info Voodoo Daddy

Mike played with the Crown Jewel cue from Meucci, reportedly with real ivory and maybe some other fancy inlays.http://www.budgetcues.com/meucci-pool-cue-97-32.htm

Wrong. Jim Rempe used the crown jewel cue.

Right and he was playing with it long before 1997.

 

[JG-in-KY]

Yes Dick you were right! I know it was before 97 I was just showing an example. IIRC it was model number MS-5B. Age does funny things with your memory.http://www.budgetcues.com/archive/meucci-ms-series.htm:thumbup:

I had that Gina Cue until I sold it to a friend of mine along with Mikes Flowers case. I would post pictures of the cue and case but I don't know how!

no-sho

Here you go bud. Thanks for sharing! Love that GINA. I'm curious....what size shafts did SIGEL use and tips?

I'll tell you something funny. Rempe asked me to keep an eye on the cue he would be right back. Of course as soon as he left I started hitting balls with it. It was one of the worst cues I have ever hit a ball with, yet he played with it for years winning everything. Funny how people can be so different when it comes to a cue.

Sigel is using a JOSS!

I don't think so. With the long butt cat and the white ring just below the wrap it looks more like a Gina.

Dude, you seem to have it in for Meucci cues. Don't know what you hate about 'em but you seem to have wild stories for why they all suck.

Being that it says JOSS in the joint, I'd...venture to say it is a JOSS.

WoW, that got me to look at all the old photos... That Earl looks a lot like a person that used to be a member on here that you all loved to hate on...
