I bought a Meucci in November and I totally love it. It's the simple ANW-1 one in Rainbow stain, but it's still nice.

I like most of their designs to be honest, but it would be cool to see some new stuff here and there. I also want to add a Joss to my collection some day, but all of their cues with even a hint of color in the points are like 800+ dollars.

Keep your eye out for a good Joss. I’ve never had one, but the ones I have hit with have all hit nice. I saw two on PoolDawg recently that were the best I had seen in forever. The ones i
Liked had the real traditional veneer colors. But sleeve looked great. It was in the 650 range. I thought about it but it got sold while I was thinking. I’m going to watch for them. If I go real crazy I’ll finally order one. Don’t need it of course. Check out PoolDawg and look through the out of stock Joss cues.

I've not looked at the latest line of cues from McDermott in all honesty my favorite is still my C-18 that I've got 3 shafts for all are 13.50 mm shafts that spoiled me . Sadly there was a mishap so it now needs to be refinished and new shafts made which will happen sometime down the road .

A friend of mine retired from playing pool and gave me his one McDermott cue which it has a issue I believe the tenon maybe cracked or the ferrele is coming loose ?

I think the C-line was their best cues and next would be the D-line.

After the D-line series they started getting away from the traditional look and the designs became a little too quirky for me with all the animal and wildlife series, etc.

Yes, but…. There are several Meucci designs, HOF and a few others that I’d like. I play with a casino model. Have a Mc Dermott, but don’t play with it. If they reissued the C and D series I’d probably buy 2 or 3. The current McDermott line just doesn’t look great to me. There are some I like. I posted in another thread I thought they really botched the 50th Anniversary series and I was disappointed. The rose cue is maybe my least favorite D Series. Some of that is just my preference. And Meucci has improved in the last several years IMO where McDermott has been consistently good on quality and service. But I think they could improve their designs a lot.

I really wish McDermott would go back to the butt caps of that era, the standard ones since the 90s are ugly to me.

I'm oddly picky about this sort of thing, and it's a shame because McDermott has a lot of cool designs and they update their catalog more often than the other American pool companies. By contrast, Meucci has introduced pretty much nothing new since Bob retired.
