That is a really nice Meucci. I love the looks of it. I hope they get it shipped out to you soon. I assume that the delay is because you wanted it with the un finished over wrap.

Most high end cues do not come with joint protectors, unless they are one of a kind, and were ordered to come with matching joint protectors. Production cues do not come with free joint protectors, no matter how high end. If you want them, then you need to pay extra for them. I think that most believe that they are not really needed. If you have a good quality hard case, then no need to ever worry about the joint pin being damaged.

Yeah, because they are worthless, unless it is a nice custom made set (from like Jim Baxter for example). I have a few sets of plain black joint protectors laying around, and I bet that I could not sell them for a dollar.
:shakehead:
Oh my. Now that I read everything, you might be waiting a long time if your cue is not already done and not in stock.
And the guy I used to talk to, he'd say my cue would be out next week and it didn't come for months. That was like listening to a recording----we're working on your cue now and it will be out next week.
Good luck!

Justin, you need to stop posting "facts" that are incorrect. My Mezz came with joint protectors. As did my Predator BK3. As did my Joss cue. All of those are production cues.
Many good quality production cues come with JPs.
I just got a tracking number from UPS. It'll be here this coming Tuesday Jan 31st.
Appreciate all the posts above.

JPs are ornamental imo unless your flying and have to check it in as luggage.
A better thing for me would be an app on my phone or alarm that tells me it's beyond a certain distance from me.

I truly hope your Muecci order comes thru... but
10 years ago, I ordered a HP3 from a dealer, it came with a 3" knot in the shaft about 8" from the tip. It was pretty annoying, so decided to give Meucci a call and they said no problems with an exchange, wanted me to send the shaft back, I did, so they sent me another shaft about 30 days later, the new shaft had an 2" knot closer to tip. I was annoyed, and sold the cue. Vowed to myself that I would never buy another Muecci cue, EVER.
Well bring us to this past Nov. I saw Max Eberle's review on you tube. And he stated Bob was back, and the Pro Shaft was the nuts. I was so reluctant as my past with them hasn't been good, but decided to give them 1 more chance. I placed an order of a Pro2. They didn't have any in stock and would have to build one. I said fine - but please send me an email of a ETA. I didn't receive any emails from them so every week I called back, and still they had no ETA.
End of December the sent a Email, cue is shipped. I had to reply back, can you also send me a tracking #? lol.
Cue arrived - they had sent a Pro 3 a $500 lesser model. I didn't even try to cue, and sent it back. Emailed a return tracking #. asking for a full refund. They got my returned cue over a week ago. And I am still awaiting a refund to my CC card...
I am banging my head against a wall, and it's nice to know they still haven't changed...

You ordered from budget billiards?
No Direct from Meucci.
Back in the early 80's I got on a Moose league team. I didn't own a cue and needed one. There were basically only two cues that everyone in the league played with and that was because there were two people in the league that sold cues. One sold Meucci and the other McDermott so there was a camp for both.
I didn't know much about cues. One player told me about a cue dealer that sold many brands and gave good prices. I visited him and he sold me on a fairly new brand called Schon. He said to him they were just as good as if not better than a Joss (Stroud) that he had for sale at $600.
I ended up buying a Schon for $125. Took it to the league and everyone told me that I got ripped off for paying that much for a off brand cue that was a piece of crap.
Today I get a lot of compliments about how nice it is to play and requests to sell it.
Enjoy your cue.
I remember thinking of Schon as a "wannabe" Joss. :grin-square: Same with Black Boar when they came out. :embarrassed2:
.
I hope once you get your new Meucci, and give it a good run (no pun intended) you'll let us know how you feel about it.
Received the cue yesterday and I think it's stunning in person and looks beautiful.
Only issue I found was a small bur on the linen wrap where it meets the top of the butt sleeve.
It's very very tiny and I should be able to get that taken care of.
I took it last night to play around and shot by myself trying to figure out the deflection and I hit a ton of long straight in shots as well.
I kinda got it down towards the end but I played a guy around 10 racks and I struggled some when trying to work the cue ball so I need more time getting it dialed in. More about those 10 racks below.
Initially the deflection of the Pro Shaft is really good but I don't know how to compare as I haven't shot with any of the other LD shafts.
I went to a smaller billiard bar which had about 20 tables and it had a bigtime local crowd feel to it. I don't think they get many new people walking in.
An old timer came over and rather smugly was commenting on some of my shots and tried to give me a pointer but it was backhanded. I didn't think nothing of it as he didn't know it was my new stick and 1st day so I let it slide.
Later in the evening he asked to play 9-ball and I beat him 7-3 so I got the last laugh.
I will start another thread in the cue reviews in about 2-3 weeks with more input.
