I'm keeping it all Meucci. I got hold of a retired bicycle & cue store owner, he had several Meucci ferrules so I stocked up on a few.
Installed it & a tip today, waiting for next league night to give it a drive & test hit a dozen or so shafts that I have.
If it's UP to muster, MIGHT be for sale. I'll post here 1st with pix.
THANKS ALL for the responses, info definitely DIDN'T go to waste.
