The site will feature a great new look with amazing graphics, an interactive map of Meucci distributors, a beautiful video gallery, and easy-to-use navigation.

The website’s URL will remain www.meuccicues.com

Thanks

I thought Bob Meucci sold/gave the biz to the kids. Is he back or just trying to save it?

i dont think he has ever gotten completely out of the biz. i dont live far from his factory and go there once in a while. havent been there in a few months though. last year i met him there and he gave me a tour. we spent about an hour talking, some about pool and some about why he moved his factory to its current location.

i noticed last year he came out with a new line called bmc ( bob meucci customs ) . they are a little fancier and claim to have more attention to detail and quality over his more conventional line of cues.
 
Bob Meucci wanted his son (robert jr) to follow in his footsteps and continue on with the Meucci Cues legacy. However robert jr had his own plans for his future and those plans do not include taking over the business. Bob and his son did design some cues some together (ie SE10 as well as some others), but thats about as far as that goes. Bob Meucci is still owner and main designer of the Meucci Cues brand and has no plans of slowing down any time soon. As a matter of fact, Mr. Meucci will be opening up a new location for the factory within the next two years, but i cannot say any more about that yet. :thumbup:
 
thx, that will clear up alot questions fast on whats going on with the Meucci brand. Nice site btw.

Thanks for the heads up Christopher, do you work for Meucci or do you just take care of their website?

Thanks Craig
 
I hope he improves his customer service I bought a Power Piston 4 a few years back. The inlays were cracked and lifting I sent it back it took almost 6 months to get a replacement which I sold on ebay swearing I'd never buy a Meucci again. I still have a gambler I bought in the 80's that I won't be selling anytime soon. But there quality went down hill in the last ten years or so. Which is sad because they use to make great cues and stand behind what they made.
 
I've heard a couple of less than satisfied customers comment on the quality of the Meucci Cues. Please let me put this in perspective for the masses...
When you have a production facility hand crafting elaborate cues one by one mistakes are inevitable. What has made the Meucci name successful is the consistancy of quality in the craftsmanship. Here's a tip, Dont leave your cue in the trunk when its 90 degrees outside and you just might get it to last a little longer. We are all aware of the fact that wood expands and contracts with temperature change. Add a bunch of inlay and glue to the equation and all of the sudden your 500 dollar cue feels like a 20 dollar cue.
This is just my take on the subject and I stand behind the Meucci brand 100%.
I have been shooting with these cues for over 15 years and i have never had a problem with any of them.
 
You are insulting everyone who has had problems with his substandard cues.
The list of problems is very long and has nothing to do with abuse.
Quality, ha...... that's a joke, everyone knows it.

Yeah that's the first thing I do with a $700 cue is leave it in a trunk when it's 100 degree out. The cue was junk at the time I got it. I never even chalked it. I shipped it right back then and got the run around for almost 6 months. Before I got a decent replacement. I can understand you sticking up for your friend. But here's a tip for you. Don't come on here bragging up Meucci cues and expect a bunch of fanboys to come on and take your side. You'll hear a lot more neg. than poss. about good old Muecci. Like I said. I have a old one that was made when they were still turning out good cues.

I don't know if you have been around this forum long but the "masses" here are pretty savvy when it comes to cues and quality of cues. They have been around the block and on average the people here have plenty of experience with all major brands.

That said I leave my cues in the car all year round. Right now the temp here is about 97 (36c) and my cues are fine.

It's great that you stand behind Meucci as you should if you are building their website. But don't make the mistake of lecturing the members of this group about cues.

Meucci's problems are well documented here and it will take a lot of time for them to get reputation back for quality cues. No one disputes the contributions Bob made to the industry in terms of design and support. We are all pulling for Meucci to come back strong but they do have their work cut out for them.
 
I had an old brown Meucci Original YEARS ago that played unreal. I'm not embarrassed to admit that (since Meucci cues seems to have a bad rep on here).

Since that one particular cue, every other Meucci I played with felt like mush. I have one Meucci now (the gambler) that is used as a house cue. You can actually spin some of the rings (the dice rings, if I recall). They feel like plastic.

I now play with a Lambros -- and the feel of my Lambros compared to any Meucci is night and day. The only advice I could give is to stop sweating these elaborate designs, colors, etc, and focus only on the playability of the cues. In fact, it might make sense to put together a "player board" for the company who can act as a "steering committee" for the company in regards to the playability of their product. Nobody wants to use Meucci pins/joint designs, etc. Flat laminate shafts with dots don't make much sense when there are geometrical solutions that provide radial consistency.

Anyways, focus on making a better product hit-wise and the rest will follow. Otherwise, the Meucci brand will always be associated with "bad hitting cues" or "whippy cues" or other identifiers that better players avoid (who cares if they're "pretty"). Make a cue that a GREAT player wants to use and others will follow (it's not 1982 anymore--- no pros or great players use Meucci now).

Please don't take this as a knock-- I legitimately want to see the Meucci brand rise again because that would be good for pool.

Count me as another legitimate meucci fan who would like to be able to buy a cue with a reasonable expectation of zero flaws. Even my "one of 100" bmc custom cue has flaws... The flaws come from poor QA at the factory, not the trunk of a car. The willingness of the factory to try to make things right is a step in the right direction, but I'd rather get it right the first time.
 
Well, I don't know much about the quality of the newer meucci cues. I have a few older ones that I picked off our display case back when I owned the poolroom. We sold them back then. I still play with them and I like the way they feel.

On another note, regarding the new website, and something you may have a bit more control over ..... I believe the expanded view of the cues shown should be very hi res images that show the entire butt.

A view that could be magnified significantly AND scrolled to see close ups of all portions of the butt.

This would be IMO a much better approach to an expanded view of the cues. What you do now, still leaves much to be desired with regards to closely checking out the cues.

Well said. Meucci has a long ways to go to get back to where they were in the 70's. When they had a lot of the big name players with their own line of Meucci cues. At that time the workmanship in the cues were first rate. and if you had a problem they were quick to respond and make it right. I don't know what changed but the quality took a turn for the worse. I remember guys saying Bob's focus went from cues to raising horses. I don't know if thats true. But something sure changed. I hope bob turns things around. But to have his "web guy" come on here an lecture the "masses" about what might happen to a cue left in a trunk. Isn't going to help his cause.
 
had 3 friends buy meucci's and they all warped within 1 year. back then we all thought meucci's were awsome..now we know different. Almost like your using bristol board for your blanks.

same wit the shafts...garbage

if you cant make ur own blanks..find a supplier who can...cause some of your cues look pretty sweet.
