I played with my Meucci Carbon Pro for the first time last night. It was very easy to get accustomed too. Took me no time where as the REVO took me awhile. It's a bit lighter then the REVO as well, which i found helped with keeping my stroke level. Backspin on it was extremely easy, which i'm not sure if credit goes to the shaft or the tip, I did a 3/4 table draw with extreme ease (and actually over drew it to set up for the next ball) Either way very pleased with it for the time being, wasn't to crazy about the taper when I first got it, but after playing with it last night, I don't mind it at all. It's a touch thinner then the REVO 12.4. I do need a bit more time with it regarding deflection but so far its pretty close to the 12.4 that I was playing with before minus the ting sound. Also, the finish on the shaft has a bit more of a shine to it which I like a lot more then the other shafts I've played with. Overall, for the price I'd say you can't go wrong with the Meucci and worth every penny.
