. Sandcastle, I was there once and it smelled like mold when I first walked in the door. It was when JB played his big match a couple few years ago. Earl is awesome.... .

. Just use the shaft that came with the cue. Deflection is a myth. It will play just fine. .

. Older McDermott shafts are not made to be interchangeable. Each shaft is made for the butt it came with. And the shaft collars were always all different diameters. Could be as much as a .030 thousands difference. .

. Well my beginner's cue was an Adam but that's only because I didn't know about Meucci. I started using a Meucci in the early 1980's and now today I still use a Meucci. So with $300 to buy a beginner's cue, why not just buy something good from the start. A cue you can use for a...

. New Meucci with a Pro shaft. I have a couple. .

. Just want to be clear, tip diameter and shaft diameter are usually two different things. Most of my shafts have a pro taper so they are the same. But a lot of LD shafts, will have a smaller tip and the shaft will be larger. Vantage shaft advertises 12.9mm tip but the shaft is much...

. 13mm is a good starting point. Over time it will get smaller. Good to get it larger when new so you have some substance to take it down to your desired diameter. I like my shaft to be just under 13mm but a little bigger than 12.75mm. . .

. OMG-----rotate the shaft so you don't see it? This comment is the same thing I have to do to my warped OB shafts. On most shots I have to rotate the shaft so the warp is straight up and down. This is not a good thing to tell a customer. Kind of a dick move. .

. I only use Master Green chalk and I never see it on my cue balls or anywhere else. .

. Gentleman's game. In TAP League where I play, you have to let the shooter know or it's not a foul. .

. OB should move their plant to Taiwan for better quality. Shane can still live in Florida and run the company from there. :thumbup: .

. I'll shoot on a Valley any day. Some Diamond tables are good but some aren't so good just like a Valley. PA has a great Moose State tournament every year. Great tight Valley tables are used. .

. I don't think you know how to aim. You might have a bad memory, no stroke, wrong tip, wrong shaft, wrong cue. Practice cut shots. You can start at half ball hits then go to a quarter ball hit. Then practice half ball hits with outside English and then do the same with quarter ball...

. Well with all the different style and model numbers, no one can keep up with all of them. You'd have to be old and still have a good memory. And this crap about the brass pin and pill bumper, I can put a brass pin into any Meucci and add a pill bumper. So far, I haven't met...

. For the last year the quality has been good. I like the way they play if made of wood and not the power piston butts. Always remember, there is no such thing as an expert on Meucci cues. .

. Ten years from now people will be still asking the same question. .

. Finally someone that remembers! You are correct! .

. With a straight shaft $250. .

. Going to take a long time for OB to catch up to all the returns. Tough to run a company in Texas when you live in Florida. .

. Under the bumper might tell you more. The older cues have a different weight bolt system. Good deal at $225. .
