Meucci Today still has some quality control issues but Bob Meucci has came back to the fold to try to improve things. He turned over the Co to his Daughter and it really tanked when she took over. The lady that answers the phone there is a piece of work to. My Son bought a BMC 4 that was bought from Bob at the Derby City Classic. The shaft that came with it did not have Pro wrote on it and the ferrule was longer. She replied '' Does it play good " , I replied yes very good , she replies " We'll I would not B****H about it then" , I found out thru one of the mangers there that the 1st set of Pro shafts did not have the logo on them and the short ferrule, They came a little later, Meucci was big in our area and I have had several models back when I played years ago. Now , today if you want to order one get the BMC series that has Bob's signature on them with the Pro Shaft . You can do not wrong and will have a hard time finding a better cue. They are bomb to say the least and Hit awesome.
