Does meucci still make the joint thinner than standard? I like meucci cues, I e owned two but if the shaft ever warps or breaks or you just wanna switch the after market shafts don't fit. I use an OB with a classic, but I also have a Z2 I like using every once in a while and it's also my back up. With meucci your stuck with their shaft which I hate, you have to line up the dot or some such nonsense. I don't care how low deflection it claims to be, if a player is in the zone and he has to stop to make sure his shaft is facing the right position it's distracting. my friend has an old original, great cue.
