:thumbup: absolutely, when I was shopping for my very first stick a couple years ago I tried out tons of cues up to the 1k dollar mark, and the only one that stood out to me personally was an old meucci with 10.7mm shaft he gave it to me for 150 bucks and even though its probably over 20 years old its still straight as an arrow even though I often break with it in 9 ball:blush:
Haven't hit one yet but if it's what I saw at Loree Jon's Pool Tables Plus last week, it will be head and shoulders over anything he's put out so far. That includes red dot, black dot, and original.
