How do you pronounce it?:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:
I play with a old meucci. I have 10, and everyone of them are straight. I'm not a fan of the newer ones with black dot shafts though. I have never seen a straight black dot shaft. I have bought several different kinds of cue's and always go back to the meucci.
LMAO I say SHAWN, if it is not right who cares I have it, it is not for sale and I will always say it like that
Back in 1971 when i was playing with an old Willie Hoppe, I had the chance to watch a little big action pool. Well, big by those times, $50 a rack 9 ball was big money then. Got to watch some of the big name Seattle players of the time. Meucci and Palmer were names that the guys were using.

I bought a brand new Meucci in about 1988 or so to replace a Schon I sold (needed the money) I could spin and draw the ball much better with the Meucci then the Schon. I thought I had discovered the greatest cue ever made :smile:.A short while later the ferrule cracked,OK got a new one. Then the cue warped :frown: and there was nothing I could do about that.
That was my first and last Meucci,but for a short time it played great.
I have a Chinese made Lucasi that is 3 years old and still dead straight,finish is still good and plays quite well. I know a lot of people do not want to buy a Chinese made cue and I completely understand this and have no problem with it. But Lucasi does make a pretty good cue for not a lot of money.
And I will take $2000 for it and I will absorb the pay pal fees,insurance and shipping.

That's not bad but catch this.
I'm walking in fast eddies a month ago to use bathroom while I was helping shane (Cuephoric )recovering some tables. I see an old man with a old cue with boxes in buttsleeve. At first I think old joss, I walk two more feet an I see perfect points, and nice chip diamond inlays, ivory ferrulle. I go to him and ask to see it. It's a dog gone Richard black from 1974 or something or other... MINT with a mint Fellini case!
I say where u get this cue an case old fella? He says I won it in a tournament in 1974-76 got second place it was the prize!
I asked well hell what was 1st place prize?
His response: VALLEY BAR Box!
I said even if u didn't dump you got the best second place prize ever my friend.
He says I fig it's worth about a thousand....I laughed an told him the case was worth nearly or equal I half that......go insure the cue an case for at least 3k$ an it could be worth more.....
Cue was as new looking as any cue I've ever seen.
Old man couldn't believe it, neither could I but sure was nice to see such a fine cue and case in the hands of a very appreciating fella.
Aint that a hoot,

I love to hear about old timers like this!
but does it come when called?
I'm like you, I call my cue whatever I please. Called it a Moochie back when they were popular just to annoy the people that had them and put on airs! I played with an early eighties meucci for awhile, when it was new. I think he used soft maple shafts back then, not rock maple. Damned shaft was a noodle and didn't play anything like the house cues I was used to. For the first six months people would roll with laughter when I was losing and would fling it in a corner and grab the first house cue on the rack. My opponents rarely laughed long though.
I finally learned to shoot with the Meucci shaft and it played beautifully. The shaft was stolen when I gave it to a cue shop to put a milk dud on it and I flung it in a corner. Gave it away to a co-worker about ten years later when I wasn't playing.
