Putting the Meucci to good use with some of my county recreation center pool room buddies. 👍 I am the youngster on the left. 😁

Yes Sir, I sure did have the option. Now, I honestly did not think about it until about 2 weeks into the waiting period. I seemed to recall polyurethane covered wraps on several cues I had handled but the wrap could still be felt. I could not remember if they were Meucci cues so I pretty much...

Will do. 👍 Matter of fact, today I will be having my usual Saturday 8 ball and Cutthroat playing session with the community old timers at the county recreational center.😁 It's a good time, good people, clean fun. Nobody gets mad if they are not playing well, or loose a game. Just plain ol'...

More pictures.

Afternoon ladies and gents. After a 6 month wait, I received my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1, equipped with a 30" Meucci Carbon Pro shaft, 11.80mm tip, with a Kamui Black medium tip. I am well aware of how people feel about Meucci cues. Some love them, some hate them. There was a time where QC issues...

I am done with Rhino not neccesarly because of the decals or performance, my Rhino plays beautifully, but because of issues with customer service. Like I said on a previous post, I have dealt with Schmelke on some custom cues. If there was anything that was not to my satisfaction, David would...

I agree. But considering that the cues are made completely out of composites, except for the joint pins, inlaid points and other decorations would add a substantial premium to the price and would defeat the purpose of supplying cues to folks that can't afford a higher end cue. I am fine with the...

How interesting. Rhino just released a new line of cues called Must. How surprising.🤣 These ones are described as having a carbon fiber butt instead of carbon composite. I am having a really fun time with their customer service department trying to get a replacement Must shaft in exchange for...

Yes Sir, thought about the joint face not being trued on the lathe, but I did confirm with a good joint protector that the hole is offset maybe .010". You can see one side of the joint protector edge hanging from one side of the shaft joint face, and wobble as I turn the shaft. Tried the same...

Well, here they are side by side; Must on the right, standard Rhino on the left. Not going to measure anything since someone else posted measurements. The tapers are very similar, at least to the naked eye. The Must does have a a bit more forward balance. That being said, the Must is going...

Allright. I got an answer from Rhino. Simple enough, if it's defective, send it back. I have been a mechanic for several decades now and I always like tinkering with stuff, learning how things work, etc, so I decided to hold off on sending it back and looking at some things first. So, I took a...

Got curious enough that I ended up ordering an 11.8mm Must while they are on sale. I reckon I will be giving my unqualified impressions on the Must soon. Rhino makes a good cue for the money. I've been playing with mine, the Eclipse II Noir, quite a bit while I wait for my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1...

Keep us posted. 👍 I'd like to try one on my Predator Sneaky. I've been trying to buy a Revo 11.8 uni-loc but nobody has them, just to keep things matching brand wise. Yeah, I am particular about pieces matching their brands. But I also like an affordable piece of equipment that works well and...

Since garczar deleted his responses, I guess I can paste it from my email notifications and reply as well. "garczar said: As i said before no cf shafts are hollow. all are filled with some thing.btw, i use 'WTF' ALL the time. don't get ur panties in a wad. Don't like the way i respond please...

Sir. I do not appreciate the WTF. I am a grown man that respects everybody here, including you. So, lets be civil about how we address each other. Did you miss the part where I wrote "if not filled with some sort of light foam for sound dampening purposes"? To me it feels hollow. It might be...
