Meucci BMC Casino-5 Spades Pool Cue
The Meucci BMC Casino-5 Spades cue brings the bling and vibrancy of a modern casino to your game, featuring striking purple Paua Shell inlaid dice and card motifs. This cue is designed to be a showstopper and provide smooth performance on every shot. Equipped with The Pro Shaft, it combines bold style with reliable playability.
The Meucci BMC Casino-5 comes with The Meucci Pro Shaft which is standard on all Meucci cues and offers a straightforward design for players who appreciate simplicity over hype. While this shaft doesn't feature advanced technology or high-density core materials, it provides a solid performance with its 14-inch pro taper, Ultra Skin Medium tip, and traditional polycarbonate ferrule. The Meucci Pro Shaft delivers a familiar feel without additional frills.

- Warranty Concerns: Meucci’s new ownership has implemented a policy that only covers performance-impacting manufacturing defects, excluding cosmetic issues like premature yellowing and fill imperfections. These terms may not support customers experiencing known quality issues.
- Manufacturing Quality: Budget Billiards has observed multiple quality concerns with Meucci products, including inconsistent veneer stains, cosmetic defects, and improperly filled holes in plastic components. While we’ve attempted to address these issues, Meucci’s response has been unsatisfactory, and the current policy does not address these problems.
