Fellow AZ'ers:
I'm looking for any info or feedback on the new Meucci shafts. I guess there are two: The Pro, and the Ultimate Weapon. (12.5 and 11.5mm respectively).
I tried one of the Pro's that Jayson Shaw sold a to a local top player near me. All I can say is WOW! The finish was awesome, it was extremely smooth and nice feeling. I like the look of the traditional looking, although somewhat short ferrule.
Man, the hit was excellent. It really felt solid. Not super stiff, but not soft either. I only hit about 10 or 15 balls. I tried to spin the ball a lot. I normally shoot with an OB Pro +. I had zero problems aiming. If anything, I would have to admit that the Meucci may have had lower deflection. I really liked the extremely long taper. I found that I had the felling I could REALLY juice up the ball very easily, and with less tip offset. The shaft belonged to Nelson Oliveira, a strong player in my area. He kept telling me "just use only a little english and feel what it does." He was right. With just a touch of english I felt like I could really spin the ball like crazy. It felt like less effort for the action I got. I can't defend this from a physics standpoint, but I know what I felt. I want one.
I was just curious what the prices are, who sells them, etc. I can't find them anywhere. I would prefer to buy it direct from Jayson Shaw. He has actually provided great communication about it with me. Plus he seems like a decent guy who is really working on his game, and I'll jump at the chance to help a pro like him earn his living.
Anyone have any additional info?
Thanks,
