I recently sent a 2009 SE IV into Meucci to be repaired and to be matched up to a new pro shaft. It was not a fast process but l have other cues so l didn't care. This cue was in real bad shape some may have scrapped the project. I sent it into Meucci with broken collar, beaten butt and dents and chips from pin to butt. I had bought it off market place and it had been seriously been abused. When l got it back it looked like new and had never been used. The pro shafts are not cheap and play very well. But the craftsmanship on the repair was beyond anything l expected. The amount of work they did fot the little money l paid l still cant belive it. I could call and talk to the tech. anytime but choose to leave him alone so he could work on my stick and that he did.
