A little love for Meucci?

[j2pac]

I’ve owned this Meucci Sneaky Pete since the early ‘90’s. It was my third Meucci and the one I kept and still play with. The common belief about Meucci is that their shafts are whippy. Not this cue. It has a taper very similar to my Schick shafts.

I may have mentioned it before, but I have that same cue. It's fantastic.

It's been sitting in the trunk of my car in Florida for over 30 years as my "just in case" cue and finds its way out a couple of times a year.

It's still dead freaking straight.

At this point, that cue has been "kiln dried" many times over.

Truth!

I might hit it with a moisture meter for the hell of it.

The cue has a loyal following. Not many people would be willing to sell theirs. I won’t.

It’s my only cue that made me more money than it cost me. I used to play with it in a bar tournament years ago. I made more prize money than the sum of my entry fees with enough left over to cover the cost of the cue.

I had one many moons ago. To be honest, back then I wanted something a little "fancier." I suppose that's why they say that wisdom is earned, and "if I knew then, what I know now."

Those cues have definitely stood the test of time, IMO.

I have done the same thing. Early in my playing I traded for a nice Meucci Originals cue along with some others. At the time I wanted everything new. Traded it away and played with a new script Meucci. Today I am beginning to collect Meucci Originals and have no desire for a script one at all. One of the cues I wish I had kept was a plain Heubler Sneaky. Loved the way it felt but wanted fancier stuff at the time. Silly.
