i've lways heard people say stuff that like that (especially to me since i own a few meucci) and i just have to laugh. i've run racks with my meucci, with my custom dick neighbors and with a players plane jane that i paid 25 bucks for. if you can play - you can play. the rest is preference and snobbery:thumbup:

The worst thing has been their customer service and quality control the last decade +. Hopefully they are starting to turn things around a little bit.

this i have to agree with 100% all of the meucci i own are going on 20 years old and i wouldn't touch the new stuff. the last time i had them do any work was about 15 years ago and it was great but the last few years i've heard nothing but nightmares:eek:

There's a local pro here who will shoot you $1,000/game of 9ball and he will use a broomstick if you think all your 'expert' cue opinions amount to more than a hill of beans. The factory workers over at Meucci have forgotten more about cues than you wannabes will ever know, why don't you stop by and espouse all your ignorance to them directly. I'm sure they could use a good laugh. I have the address if your interested.

If not, then shut up and allow the thread to return back to what it was started for.

A broomstick? Lol! See you do have a sense of humor after all! I've played a few real pros (not just some local pro) and have come out on the winning end. I run 4-5 racks of 9 ball on a consistant basis and have a high run of 7 several times. I also have a high run of 152 in straight so anytime you or your pro wants that game you let me know. Just to be funny I'll play him safe and I'll put him in JAIL!!!!!
And while I'm laughing all the way to the bank with my newly won $1K you'll understand what a joke means.

You seriously need to get a grip. Just because you happen to have a Meucci, it doesn't mean they're great. I was trying to be nice and explain why they are not as good as other custom cues but you don't seem to understand. So here it is without any sugarcoating. They are complete crap.

A broomstick. ROFLMAO!!!!
 
Since MEUCCI relocated manufacturing from SLEDGE, Ms. to BYHALIA (stones throw from MEMPHIS) the POTENTIAL for making higher quality cues has increased.


IMO anybody playing with a broomstick is a 3 to 2 dog playing Ray Charles..

There's no need to get all hot and bothered over Meucci's reputation, especially considering they earned it all on their own. I've played with 3 different cues made by them, and while the balls didn't go in the opposite direction intended, I didn't enjoy playing with them either. From the early 90's and on, they seemed to have continued to decrease in quality. I'm certainly not a cue snob either. For a comparable price, I feel like Joss is a much better buy and prefer them to a lot of other brands.

You need to step away from the computer. Go outside and get some fresh air. Go to a bar and find a woman. F*ck her. Maybe then you will not be so high strung. I think the problem with the factory workers has been solved. They have forgotten more about cues than we wannabees will ever know. Maybe if they remembered how to make a cue this thread would never have happened. Obviously you know they suck or you would not have made a thread about your pleasant experience.
 
I'll leave those women to you

I'll leave those type of women to you, more your type I'm sure.

So then you want their address? You ready to put your $ where your big mouth is? I'd love for you to walk in with your 'cue knowledge' and talk to their operators. I could even film it and put it up on YouTube, I'm sure it would make for a good laugh, even better than your sorry ass joke. Whenever you're ready dude.

The problem is that you can't get over the fact that your Meucci is a peice of dog dung. You were insulted that someone made a joke about it and now you're looking for ways to vindicate yourself. This has included challenging me to a game of 9-ball, although you yourself are not doing the playing. I wonder why??? :rolleyes:

It also includes inviting us to the Meucci factory to discuss cuebuilding with the "factory workers". Allllrighty then! I would welcome that opportunity. No one said anything about them NOT KNOWING how to build good cues. We said they DIDN"T build good cues. Big difference. Just becasue someone knows how todo something right, it doesn't mean they actually do it.
I'm sure the workers at Meucci are subject to all kinds of limitations at their jobs just like everyone else. The factory TELLS them how to do things because of specific limitations such as time and cost of materials. It seems like you know nothing about how a business is run. It's all about how much it costs to run the operation vs what the return is. If Meucci built their cues like any of the custom makers they would be out of business in a month. The cost of the better materials alone would bankrupt them.
So as Jensen Lover suggested, step away from the computer. Take a deep breath and relax. You got all pissed off over a joke. Come on man, get a grip. Stop acting like a girl that got felt up at the drive in........
Now go ahead and take that deep breath, I'll wait.........................................................................................................................................................................................

Ok, feeling better now???

Ok Good. Now, whenever you're ready to take on a challenge by yourself without having to have everyone else fight your battles for you, I'd be interested in seeing how you handle it.
I'll be at the SBE in Valley Forge in March. You let me know when, and I'll meet you in the green room for a good 'ol fashioned beat down! Then you can show me how great that POS Meucci is. LOL!!!!! Or bring your "local pro". And tell him to bring his broom stick.

And one last thing, don't just assume that I (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't have a clue. I've owned cues worth more than your car and don't think for a minute that I would just rush out and buy something like that without knowing all the details about it such as how it's made and why it's better than your Meucci.
I have had hundreds of conversations with real cuemakers regarding cue building. This has allowed me to gain a vast knowledge of how they are made both the right way and the wrong way. I understand why things are done in a certain way. I.E., why many cue makers now core their forarms. I understand how it's done and why. Maybe you should take some time to visit a real cue maker in your area and ask a lot of questions. You may actually learn something.
 
Everyone likes what they like and everyone has the right to tell everyone else that they're wrong. All things depending, a given person can run a rack with any given cue.

wow you gotta slow down or you're gonna pop a blood vessel. i don't care how much you love meucci cues the fact is they've gone down hill. that's why guys like me who used to love them and started playing with them shy away from the new stuff. people have the right to say they don't like them and we all have the right to be snobbinsh about what we like. my custom weighs 21.5 oz. and i take s*it from people all the time - so be it. let 'em laugh. i win with it. same for you getting worked up over this. let people say what they want. if you like your cue f*ck everyone else's opinion. don't get twisted and angry over it. it's not worth it. i will say this however - don't issue a challange and then say but i am not going to be playing. and i have to ask since you said it - what area are you in that so many people are "wielding" meucci? and does this list of people include you're pro who will play with a broomstick? i am willing to bet if he's a pro he's not shooting a meucci.;)
 
Huh?

Dude, the only 'vast knowledge' you have is of your own swollen head. When was the last time you had a girlfriend? You might try getting a life instead of obsessing on pieces of wood used to hit around little round balls. Please, spare us your diatribe, it's nauseating .

Seriously, how old are you? 15? Do yourself a favor and quit posting for a week.
 
OBVIOUSLY THIS GUY IS OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION, THAT NEVER PLAYED WITH A MEUCCI ORIGINAL , THEN HE WOULD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALL COMEING FROM. BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ANY EXPERIENCED POOL PLAYER THAT PLAYED WITH ONE OF THE CUE'S MEUCCI MADE IN THE I'D SAY MID 90'S ON UP WERE ANY TYPE OF A COMPARISION, TO THE ORIGINALS ! BECAUSE THOSE CUE'S QUALITY WENT DOWN FASTER THEN THE TITANIC ! LOL. NOT TO SAY THAT NOW THEY MAY BE ON THEIR WAY BACK, I DONT KNOW , CAUSE AFTER THE CRAP I HAVE SEEN PRODUCED IN THE 90'S , I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN ONE IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GIVE IT AWAY ! IN FACT I HAVE TURNED DOWN GAMES WHERE THE GUY DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO PLAY AND WANTED TO PUT HIS CUE UP FOR EVEN $50 .. I SAID NO THANKS CAUSE I WAS GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK EITHER WAY I LOOKED AT IT .. LMAO . IM SERIOUS IT REALLY HAPPENED. NOW I WILL GIVE THIS GUY THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND SAY THEY GOTTA PLAY BETTER THEN THEY USED TO . BUT THAT IS NOT SAYING MUCH . I PERSONALLY IF I STILL HAD A MOOCHI. I WOULD SEND IT TO MIKE ERWIN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED , AFTER ALL HE RAN THE MEUCCI FACTORY WHEN THEY PLAYED GOOD !!!! JUST MY TWO CENTS ,, :thumbup:
