Meucci Factory Cue Repair

I have 6 currently at Meucci and they have done 5 in the last year.
They are doing phenomenal work currently and none of the old issues seem to be present. Darren is the one I always speak with. Great advice and easy to work with.

I have had cues refinished a proficient as well and they are outstanding.

Meucci is definitely the cheaper of the two.

McDermott does great work but in my opinion are too expensive unless I need a D, C or B series butt cap I would never have them refinish a cue and I have had them do several.

The rules will not decide the victor of matches only will they somewhat occasionally alter the strategy used within those matches. Same players are going to win just because they’re the best players and that’s what they do.

You are correct -- the rules won't change who comes out on top.

But if you want to play 1pocket, and not some gaffed up version of 1pocket, it's going to have an impact. Particularly when some Hoosier gets you 2-0 and decides every shot needs to be examined at length and the bathroom keeps beckoning him. Over the years I've had plenty of comebacks from 0-2 or even 0-3 in a race to four. I'm not sure I could even blame the guy I'm playing if he goes into a stall as the time limit approaches.

Will switching from Irish Linen to a leather wrap make the grip feel thicker, thinner or the same?

Black-Balled
I think it would need to be turned down and maybe that's something that would necessarily include the refinish. A thinner material will leave a ridge at the upper/ lower ends

Gonna cost though and I think it likely proficient may inform it isn't responsible for what happens to it whet they stat taking material off.

You need to have the conversation with the proficient folks. They know their cue poop.

Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

bbb said:
Of course Mark is a great instructor and it’s hard to not agree with anything that he says
But would he ever say that using gearing sidespin (English,) for example, to minimize cut induced throw should never be used to help you make a ball?
That’s one example I could think of where I would use English to help me make a ball

things need to be in context. This does not look like an instructional video, but more a private lesson that someone took a video.
By the questions that he was asked, I can assume that these guys are at a really beginers stage, so it's not the right time to talk about cut induced throw. On most shots it isn't much of an issue, either the players hit the ball hard enough to eliminate cut induced throw or the OB is close enough to the pocket that it takes the ball anyway, especially with wide pockets larger than 4.5"
