Hello everyone,
I've been looking to buy my first cue stick. I have read several of the posts on here about the same topic and I know how annoyed some of you get when you see a topic like this :frown: but I have done a little bit of reading and decided to pick a McDermott because it seems to be in my price range.
I'm OK at the game and am looking to improve with the help of this new cue, which is why I want to spend ~100 for now and maybe ill spend more once I become good at the game.
The two cues I have shortlisted are:
1. McDermott Star S7 - http://www.mcdermottcue.com/s7.php
2. McDermott Element 07 - http://www.mcdermottcue.com/elem07.php
One has a linen wrap, the second does not.
The question I had for you guys is, about the shafts McDermott offers. They seem quite pricey, and I did not want to spend so much additional. Is the standard shaft good enough for a beginner? Once my game improves and I feel like I need an upgrade, can I just order one of the shafts that I think will suit me?
