Cues

Jayson shaw is using a Muecci. Alex is using a ob. Van den berg is using a musashi. That's all I know from those pictures.
Update. Francisco is using a bear custom cue. John mortar is using a falcon.

I'm curious if the cue Jayson is using, is indeed a Meucci and it's also neat to see Nick using a custom.

Jayson Shaw Cue.

Yes, The cue that Jayson is using in that picture is a new meucci, and Jayson and Bob Meucci are negotiating a contract for sponsorship.

I miss being able to shoot and break with my playing cue. Can the OB Pro withstand the abuse of breaking?

I cracked a ferrule on my OB Classic while breaking. The new plus shafts have a much stronger ferrule material and it seems they would hold up to breaking just fine.

I break with the OB Break shaft which is essentially the OB1 for the ferrule. I've hammered the hell out of it and its perfectly fine.

I found Jayson's new Meucci! $2500 MSRP!?!?! LOL

This first BMC Custom cue of 2010, if it were made by one of the custom cue makers that build 1-2 cues per week, would be priced at $10,000+. But because Bob Meucci has 47 years of cue making and engineering experience, he brings this magnificent cue to you, the collector, for only $2,495 MSRP.
The cue consists of highly figured Birdseye Maple, inlaid with 60 diamonds of various high-quality materials beginning with authentic African Ebony on the exterior of all diamonds and cocobolo centers with authentic Abalone shell ovals. In the case of the 6 trim diamonds, the Abalone is "Heart of Abalone" which is very rare.
The new Diamond Cue has 8 sets of black fiber trim rings that are each inlaid with 12 white squares. That is a total of 96 inlaid squares. Take note of the amazing over and under design apparent on the top and bottom halves of the butt.
This cue comes with two Black Dot Bullseye shafts, engraved numbers, and is signed and dated by Bob Meucci's hand.
There will only be 100 pieces of this cue made!

I'm always looking at pics of players and trying to check out their cues. I know what a couple players are using, but I'd like to know what other pros are using. Warren Kiamco had a beautiful butterfly cue at one point in time and it was nearly impossible to find it. I'm compiling a list of what pros are currently using to help AzB members find "that" cue.

This is an old thread. And Jayson played REALLY good with that Meucci. Tons of titles with it. I've jumped aboard the Meucci train with the pro-shaft and I really like it. Tony Chohan has adjusted nicely to it.
