Went back home for a little vacation, went to the Meucci inc factory. Bob has built a super nice pool room. It is a very nice place, it is in the front of the Meucci factory. Laid back, no loud mouths, no interruptions by loud music! Anyways I played a lot of 9 ball with Bob Meucci him self and world champion 9ball player Buddy Hall. Here are some pics!

Wow! Nice photos. Thanks for sharing with us. I talked to Buddy Hall last night and he said he was not feeling good. I am going to call him tonight to see how he is doing. Buddy is a class act all the way! And my friend. Thanks again.
Many Regards,

Yes sir, the all mighty King James, I have one that is an original and is indeed un chalked and un shot. I can look at it for hours! How did you stumble up on yours?

During the first great cue show in Essen,Germany around 91/92.
That was the time when Jim Rempe was here in Germany.
Jim was the guest star at this event and he plays an Oldie 5.

The JR-7 was at a dealers showcase and screams... play me - buy me ... and so i did.

After 2 years the clear coat on the wrap was gone and the original slightly
white-grey linen turns ugly.

I spend a new cream white linen on it and a new clear coat.

So i played this cue over 20 years and tried many others, but no other
cue has this wonderful creamy hit and this royal look and touch for me.

Hope you understand my childish english, bye my friend and greets to all
Meucci Owners/Players.

i would venture to say those pics were taken shortly after the southern classic was held in tunica in july.

although i live just 30 minutes from bobs factory i seldom visit there, used to live 5 minutes from there till last year.

i have met and spoken to bob several times over the 20 years i have lived in this area. i have never met meucci man 79 although he stated in a post a while back his family has a farm next to bobs factory that has been in his family for over a hundred years .

i do know that bob remodeled the front of his factory recently and started a club so to speak. he is offering a membership to play at his room. he is also offering clinics for members and also private lessons there.

he held a grand oppening last month, september 6th if i am not mistaken.

all the above info about his club is what i remember from a flyer i saw posted on the front door of a store i stopped at last month.it was 35.00 to become a member iirc. i thought about joining but i just dont have the time with me playing league 5 nights a week.

I completely understand you sir, great story, would you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?
 
Yes that was the Wednesday after the weekend of the 10 ball tourney in Tunica. And the was in the front of the Meucci plant!
 
That was a great trip for you. Buddy Hall sure has the smooth stroke. That why he is the Rifleman.
