Old video but I worked for Meucci back in the day when they were in Olive Branch on Old 78. It was super interesting learning to make those cues. Worked with some great folks too.

Hello! Just wanted to thank you for your work at Meucci, they have always been my favorite cue. I bought my first Meucci cue stick back in 1987 when I was 17yrs old. Every dollar I made shooting 8 & 9-ball at the Family Billiards arcade in town went into a Mason jar my mom kept in a cabinet over top of the refrigerator. On a bitter cold Winter's day in January 1987 I had won/ saved up a little over $300 so, my best Billiards bud, James picked me up in his 1967 Flat-Face Ford Econoline Van w/the engine right there between us in the bucket seats. It was primer-gray w/a set of sweet, old Cragar S/S wheels. It wasn't the fastest or most luxurious but it did have a heater that worked too well as opposed to MY 1971 Malibu 350 Chevelle convertible which was in my garage at home sans her Holley 750 carburetor awaiting the replacement carb being delivered to my local Auto Shack, not Auto Zone. Nope, first it was called Auto Shack but, I digress. Anyway, we made it to my favorite store ever, the Olhausen Billiards store in Nolensville, TN, and I was so happy to pick out the Black & Gray "Smoke" style Meucci cue in 20oz weight for $249.00 + tax & the kind salesman cut a enough off the total price so I could afford the handsome & sturdy gray hard case w/the soft black liner to complete the package. I still own and use my awesome Meucci cue & case to this day. Whenever I am at my favorite pool hall in town people, especially the younger folks, ask me about & comment on my Meucci. They're always impressed at how great & balanced it feels as well as its looks although my particular model is not the most ornate or colorful model at all. It's simple, sleek & well-made like an Aston Martin sports car, James Bond's car. It exudes quality and craftsmanship and class.

@fulltilt151 I've made a couple snooker cues at home quite successfully and I'm tempted to make a pool cue too. I don't want to spend a great deal of time on it as I don't play pool very often so I'm not looking for something as crazy as 300 steps. I'd make a basic cue. How easy do you think it would be if I don't aim for anything fancy?

I don’t think Mr. Meucii appreciated that was the greatest snooker champion the world has ever seen.

Did meucci get bought out by foreigners? I hear the warrantie work takes a year if you get any any all.
@SuperBigwill855 ай бұрын
warranty work is done by budget billiards and they just have an immense amount of back logged work post pandemic
