He hates it that he loves them.
The Meucci Pro is a nice shaft. At least, mine was.
You figured it out, thanks for the translation

And your favorite, or main player is?
Unless he changed cues, the cue that Skylar used to become MVP in the Mosconi Cup was a Meucci with a wood shaft.
I asked him on FB, he said it's a one of a kind Meucci made special for him, and his shaft is just the Meucci Pro shaft, maple wood Meucci.
However, he told me that next time ill see him play in a tournament he'll be using the Carbon Meucci shaft, a CF from Meucci.
The Meucci Pro wood shaft plays good. I got one from C.J. Wiley, that Bob made for him. They hit good.
I, also, have a Meucci Pro Carbon Fiber shaft. It plays good, too.
Which one would you say is better? I want a 12.5mm, should I go with The Pro, or CF Meucci?
I like the carbon one better, but it is on a butt that I use all the time and maybe that has something to do with it. The wood shaft and the carbon shaft have different pins, so I can't use them on the same butts.

I thought I was clear. I love the hit and feel of Meucci Cues. I always have. But every one of my Meuccis has manufacturing flaws. Most of them that have points have popped. I have a feeling people don’t know what a popping point or popping inlay is. The only Meucci I have with points that havent popped (yet) is one that I bought that was broken, and I had refinished.
A few posters say that they’ve used Meuccis for years and never had a problem with them. That doesn’t remotely match my and many many others experience.
Is that clearer to you now?

In Meucci’s hay (hey?) days...70s and 80s, they were still known as throw-away cues...
...use them for a year or two...and throw them away
Some were not centered, like a production cue, but they wanted custom prices.
Actually the older models have aged the best. Mid 90's/early 00's are the ones that had the most issues. Since Bob regained control they have gotten better but i still would not buy one with a lot(any??) of inlay.
Back in the late 70s....most Meucci players were sponsored..so there was hype.
...but one guy at the Rack had a plain Jane...ugly brown wood....we would all borrow it...
...it played great.
I acquired a butt later on with that same ugly wood...with a Mottey snooker shaft, Alex
won some Canuck snooker titles with it.
I know a world champ in the action days retired his Szamboti for a couple years to play
with a Meucci (unsponsored)...it did everything he wanted a cue to do...
...but it didn’t last.
I never liked the pro taper on a Meucci....but if a cue hits good, don’t care who made it.
If there wasn't CF shafts out I'd be using the pro and/or ultimate weapon shafts. They are both awesome. I do have a cf pro shaft in 30" 11.75mm now.
As far as Sky is concerned, he started using the CF pro shaft but wasn't comfortable enough with it yet to use in the Mosconi Cup. I believe he is in the process of switching to it full time.

I have a Cameo Meucci. It was an ambitious design for any cue let alone a catalog “production cue.” I love that cue, but it has so many flaws. Every cameo seems like it’s a breath away from falling out.
No comment!
