As most people know, Mike Erwin was at Meucci Cues during Buddy Halls first go round with Meucci. I know this for a fact as about a month before Tunica's tournament in 2012, Buddy Hall contacted Mike Erwin and they had a great phone visit as Buddy Hall told Mike Erwin he would like to play with a Erwin Cue at Tunica 2012. Mike finished up a cue for Buddy Hall and sent it to him a couple weeks before Tunica 2012. Mike Erwin was over joyed that his old friend was going to play with a cue of his. When Mike Erwin showed up at Tunica 2012, Buddy didn't have his cue there and stated that he just didn't have enough time to adapt to the Erwin Cue. As we all know, Mike Erwin passed away in October of 2012, so, the only confirmation of this situation is from me verifying the phone calls. I told Mike Erwin to get a hold of Buddy Hall and get that cue back since Buddy Hall broke the contract. Mike knew in his heart and I feel the same that Buddy Hall only used the Erwin Cue to flash it in front of Bob Meucci and in my opinion, this is the only reason Buddy Hall got a publicity shot from Meucci Cues. Recently, I asked Mikes son Scott Erwin if Buddy Hall ever sent the cue back since he broke the contract. Scott Erwin just stated that it's never been returned and that's all he was going to comment on. I don't blame Scott as like he said, it was between his father and Buddy Hall. I will agree with that statement and all I will say is that if Bob Meucci and Budd Hall got together and planned out some business deal, great for the both of them. However, what happened to the Erwin Cue Mr. Hall ?, You broke a contract, return the cue if you still have it as it's not legally your property !! You broke your contract with Mike Erwin. If you sold the cue, as other postings say you need money, then, that's really a sham...... I mean shame. The Erwins are great folks and that cue Mike Erwin sent you under the premises that you were going to shoot with it at Tunica 2012 to fulfill the contract never happened. Return the cue to Scott Erwin.

Trust Me, Scott Erwin has no idea I am replying and telling this true story. I've read several things and hear all the stuff. That's fine, see if Mr. Hall can man up and at least send the cue back to the rightful owner.
I am also going to say this which makes it more aggravating. Mike Erwin told me stories of when Buddy Hall would shoot games while at Meucci's plant, seems like they also had tournaments once in a while. Countless times, Mike Erwin would tell me stories of how he watched Buddy Hall play many games as Buddy Hall was Mike Erwins favorite player of all time. Buddy, Please send the cue back if you have it.
I'm not out to offend anyone at all. I just happened to have been a real friend of Mike Erwin. Mike Erwin felt real bad when Buddy didn't use his cue at Tunica and of course saw the light when the announcement Buddy done a player rep with Meucci. He just didn't think you would dump on him Mr. Hall. He really thought you were an honorable friend.
Where's the cue ??
