The New Meucci 21st Century Cue #5 features a new concept in cue
design.
This Meucci cue starts with a birdseye or curly maple forearm. It has
three unique band designs that divide the forearm into three pieces, plus
one of them at the joint. They each consist of 24 1/16th by 1/16th red
veneer squares set in an imitation ivory background surrounded with aluminum
and black rings on either side of each band. The two bands in the forearm
have three points passing under the bands, and three points passing over the
bands with red wooden veneer diamonds surrounded with aluminum inlayed in
nine places in the black points.
In the maple butt sleeve, there is one more of the aforementioned bands
making a total of ninety-six red veneer squares inlayed in the butt alone,
with 24 more in the shaft. Three diamonds are passing under the butt sleeve
band, and three diamonds passing over the butt sleeve band, all diamonds
inlayed with red maple veneer surrounded by aluminum, and set in a black
background.
To complete this fine design, the cue is wrapped with a Eurothane Coated
wrap that has a half-inch of red and black-spot linen at either end of the
wrap, and solid black in the middle.
The Meucci Century-5 comes with one of Meucci's 35-layer low-deflection
Black Dot Bulls eye laminated shafts. The Meucci shaft standard is 12.75mm
