I see now why your singing his praises since he's you uncle. But that doesn't change the fact that the cues ''he'' was turning out were junk. As far as happy pills I don't need them as I'm a very upbeat person most of the time. I'm also very honest which is why I'm giving my option on Meucci cues. My brother and I use to sell them back in the late 70's and 80's and at that time they were well made cues. We stopped selling cues all together when we closed our hall. We weren't playing much either. After about 10 or 12 years we got the itch and started up again. My brother was still a dealer for Meucci and when a guy I new wanted a power piston 4 we ordered it. When it came the mother of pearl was cracked in several places and the inlays stuck up all over it. We sent it right back and then got the run a round. They wouldn't refund the money. After 6 months they sent us back another PP4. Which was in good enough shape that I could at least unload it to another guy that new the whole story. Because the original buyer had gotten tired of waiting and moved on. I lost money on that cue and after the way we were treated by Meucci I swore I'd never buy or sell another one. Bob maybe a great uncle but way of treating his customers is sub par. As are his cues.

I agree from the 70's to 80's the Meucci Originals were well made cues, but after that they went downhill.
That's two I found in about a minute or two, there are more but just posted this info because he didnt think anyone could name 1 in the last 20 years.
I guess because as you say come out of a factory they will not be in the same conversation as a custom cue only cues made in factory's

rjb1168...I said "WON pro tournaments, using a Meucci". Please post the pro tournaments Rempe and Loree Jon won, in the past 20 years. BTW, they were both paid to use Meucci cues. I was actually referring to pro players that would 'choose' to use one.

Can you please rephrase what you are saying? I don't understand
At the end of the day they are a factory cue so the only comparison is with other factory cues some people don't like factory cues no matter how they are built

Just google (wikipedia) his/her name and you can see for yourself, be sure to open the links to see the pro names that played.

If I go to, say, Laurie Franklin, and order a cue, but I really really want the pin to be engraved with "301 96" because I'm the customer and that's what I really really want, do you think she would do it? If not, why not?
How do you think this compares to Bob's approach with his logo?
Ya well Shane and Earl with a cue tech Archer with a scorpion have won countless turnys but the second they are not getting paid to use those they go in the trash

MO'S, I think there is a script one on ebay right now and I might buy it
I yes, I agree with you on that for sure
Meucci was one of the first cue makers I became a dealer for. I really like their cues personally. My shooter is a Casino 3 and it'll never be for sale. I've yet to have any problem with their cues.
As far as those who claim shotty work, I beg to differ. Twice now I've had to wait a bit longer than expected for a cue to be finished because they wouldn't let it go until it was perfect.
None of my customers have complained about their Meucci cues.
As far as customer service.. I am Meucci customer service. Meucci builds custom cues, Meucci dealers such as Webb's Billiards Supply sells Meucci cues.
I realize not everyone can be a fan, but I think before you bash someone for their work, you should keep up to date with them.
Case in point: The Germans tried to take over the world not once but twice... do you still hate the Germans?
Maybe that's extreme, but so is repeatedly branding a company for past problems.
Would I handle public relations differently if I ran Meucci? Yes. But that is my two cents worth.

You're preaching to the choir here. There have been hundreds, if not thousands of dissatisfied customers and dealers of Meucci cues over the past two decades. You are not Meucci Cues customer service. You are a dealer who represents them, but any problems with one of their cues is still dependent on them correcting the problem, at the factory. AFAIK, you don't make repairs yourself (correct me if I am wrong). They have done shoddy work, both in construction, and repairs of cues, now for many years. Just because you claim you've never seen one does not make it so to the general buying public. If you researched Meucci here you would find at least dozens of threads, with hundreds of posts, detailing problems and unresolved issues. Just curious, but how long have you been a Meucci dealer?

Very well stated Matt, another good example is how many Harley riders do we have that are hating on Meucci? Remember when Harley Davidson bulit nothing but garbage? I am not a biker/rider but I remember that.
..........................................
Ummm...no, not quite the same. The only time Harley production suffered was the very few years the company was owned and operated by AMC. Once it was repurchased (and reorganised) by Harley employees, they went back to the great product they had before the buyout, and currently still have. What's Meucci's excuse? They've been "owned" by the same person for their entire existence.

Look at my signature and you see what im playing with these day's and I must say I would not have a problem switching back to one of my Meucci originals. This in no way means I dont like my Lambros, I love it. Bob Meucci is a nice guy that has done some amazing things for the pool world and if you dont know just do some research. I got the biggest kick out of Bob at SBE when he was bringing the mythe destroyer to the show and inviting anyone to put thier cue up against his to test deflection, only a couple dealers did it. You had to see Bob in action, it was funny to see him right next to the predator booth. He would say they (predator) would not put thier cue on the mythe destroyer and they would just stand there looking at him without saying a word. Bob challanged all cuemakers Custom and production. I dont think they liked it very much. I like Bob Meucci and his cues, he's a good guy. :smile:

I agree that Bob is a very nice guy. That does not speak to the production quality and customer service issues that have been prevalent for the past MANY years. It is undeniable that these things happened...for whatever reasons. It remains to be seen whether any real changes have been made, and whether the buying public is willing to "forgive and forget".
