What shafts come with the Sugartree?

Right now, at least, I'm looking at Richard Black cues. I've always liked his style, and I want to get a couple.

Like his style, Thomas Wayne cues , and Tad cues. This is the style I'll likely be building myself. Cues for the cigar smoking, bourbon shootin hustlers....

I don’t think a precise model number could be applied to this cue.

I have wondered whether a flat tip would be advantageous when shooting a cue ball frozen to the cushion. Impact point a few millimeters closer to the equator can't hurt.

Unless you hit on the tip's edge - that's what tip curvature is supposed to prevent.

Meucci sold many oddballs by special order and or for their sponsored players to sell. You have an originals butt with a much later made black dot. The black dot shafts have much less value to most meucci lovers and collectors as the classic no dot shafts up to the early to mid nineties played loose, soft and whippy with high deflection. The guys like me that grew up playing with them in the 70’s want those. The butt…..value depends on who wants it. Few hundred bucks.

I believe you're a 600 but I've never seen a 600 put up a 7-pack, let alone do it on 3 different occasions, respectfully.

That's strong as f*$k. I would say you are severely underrated.

Was this on a Valley barbox? What was the game?

I clearly said I only play once or twice a year, I didn't say I've only played that often my entire life. I also never said that I didn't play better in the past.

2 times 9' 1 time BB all 9 ball

I really have no desire to play any better, I don't have the time because I'd rather hang out with my dog or play poker

...my observation has been that you are indeed correct with all of (the pros] playing with pretty flat tips, like a nickel or maybe even a quarter radius.

As they should be.

I've looked all through the online archives and can't find this particular model that I recently picked up. Has the Meucci Originals logo but a matching black dot shaft, so I know it's not real old. Just wondering if anyone can ID.

It appears to be a variation on the EUROPEAN SERIES (mid-late 80s --- I remember TONS of players had a European Series Meucci. Great playing and affordable). Shaft is not original to that butt, but could have been made later for it by Meucci.
