Some are made in the USA and some are made outside the USA. The Element, Lucky and Star brands are all made outside the USA as far as I know.

This McPred cue has got to be the biggest mutt of a cue I have ever seen.
I can't figure out who is competing with who really.
McDermott makes their own line of "performance" shafts that compete against Predator. Tiger makes their own line of Performance shafts. And yet here are all three brands in one cue.....
Features:
- Special Edition Black Panther Transfer Butt
- Extended Sport Wrap
- Predator 3142 Shaft
- Tiger Everest Tip
- Uni-Loc Quick Release Joint
- McDermott Adjustable Weight System
Why don't all the cue companies just combine and call themselves General Cue?
Change all the "made in" copy to "made on Earth" and leave it at that.
I honestly believe that a company ought not to try to have it both ways. If you want to use the "made in America" emotional button then all your stuff should be made in America. Don't tap dance around it. All in or out.
I personally believe all the made in xxx is nonsense. Meaningless.
Made by XXX is the key. The company or person who made it should be standing behind their product no matter where it's made.
