Among my league peers, I actually see more carbon shafts among guys aged 35 +. Probably because of more disposable income, though.

I only know one APA 7 who breaks and runs regularly. He works at a pool hall so has lots of time to get actual practice in. I watched an APA 7, Fargo 560 or so play against our team last night, he made some absolutely wicked shots but had not a single B&R in 6 racks.

If I saw a new high end Meucci in real life, I'd be happy for them. In a sea of increasingly boring cues, they stand out a lot.

They have a lot of great designs, though they haven't really added any new ones in a while. Also, for some reason even the really generic Meuccis look cooler than their peers to me. I think it's the ring work + larger butt that make them stand out. I have an ANW-1 and think it looks great, and...

To be honest, it looks better with the grain visible. And those inlays are very nice.

I bought a "budget" Meucci too lately and I love it. I do want to add a Joss to my collection too, perhaps when I reach some sort of pool milestone.

Both of my cues have been wrapless, I personally don't see the need for a wrap. I guess since I've played with nothing but house cues until a year ago, it feels natural to me. But I also like that I'll avoid having a wrap that gets gnarly over time. I'm surprised that wrapless cues aren't more...

I'm aware! That's why I strictly play at bars in Manhattan

I like both. Playing on Diamond bar boxes is fun as hell to me.

I have yet to see anything better than Diamonds for bar boxes

A little pricey IMO but a great place to play pool and very lively. The equipment is nice, even the house cues.

And the Barboxes are also Diamonds, with pockets that seem to be about 4.75

It is very nice looking! I bet it will get a lot of compliments at the pool hall

Pool halls in NYC are so expensive that I'd rather just hanging out at bars with Diamond tables for pool action. I get jealous hearing about people in other states that can rent tables for single digits per hour!

I bought a Meucci in November and I totally love it. It's the simple ANW-1 one in Rainbow stain, but it's still nice. I like most of their designs to be honest, but it would be cool to see some new stuff here and there. I also want to add a Joss to my collection some day, but all of their cues...

I really wish McDermott would go back to the butt caps of that era, the standard ones since the 90s are ugly to me. I'm oddly picky about this sort of thing, and it's a shame because McDermott has a lot of cool designs and they update their catalog more often than the other American pool...

I thought "custom" meant built to your specifications, these are just cues that are exclusive to their website

Really? Their non-custom cues often cost more than that

Rotation games and 8 ball with ball in hand rules are more exciting to me than straight pool, so that's one thing I definitely prefer about today's game

I wonder why it looks so McDermott-y. Don't they have their own custom cues (but without this tool available)?
