What happened to Meucci cues?

[Lowell]

I bought one for Black Friday and it's excellent

I just wish Meucci came out with some new designs, their catalog is stale

FWIW, I have a Meucci cue in the attic somewhere with a warped shaft and a bad tip. It's 90's era.

I know this post is old but proof or it didn't happen.

No, that it exists at all.
I really like my 90's Meucci.

It exists....but like many other things of my youth that the attic has consumed I haven't seen it in years. My attic has been a catch-all for everything since 2005.

I have been slowly cleaning it out....if it turns up, you'll be the third to know. It's one of the few things my exwife didn't didn't get a chance to throw away. Butt was good, but the shaft was warped.

Nothing happened to them

Just played a race to 13 with one.
Hit the balks as good as any cue on the market for my money.

Someone uneducated and since I lived through it I’ll post lol didn’t read all the post so I apologize if it was already said

In short They were insanely popular then they decided to cash in and started making absolute junk in the early 90s because they were pushing out cues faster then they could make quality cues. I was in the pool hall when they would get new shipments and had to send 3/4 of them back because they were junk. Already warped in the box, inlays falling out, glue all over them. Just horrible. Then they sold out to a company that continued making junk. They were so bad for years that if you clicked their name on major online retail sites like muellers and ozone billiards at the time would put a message on your screen telling you they are so bad they currently will not sell them and buy these cues instead lol Bob bought it back and as far as I can see they are making a good product again. They only ongoing complaint I’ve heard is if you send it back for repairs it’s not the best customer service getting it back.

Edit to add back then even though in the 80s they were the cue to play with I never liked them.. I just preferred a stiffer hit as a young player so I played McDermott. What sucked was I loved meucci’s designs compared to McDermott but I just never liked out whippy the shaft felt.
