I'm cue shopping and wanted to share an annoyance with somebody.
I like a number of McDermott's designs except they often have inconsistent decoration above and below the wrap. Here's an example:
http://www.mcdermottcue.com/g222.php
There's a ring right at the top of the wrap, but not right below. To me it looks like they forgot to finish the wrap at the bottom.
I know it's a design decision and they obviously did this on purpose and it's a question of taste, blah blah blah.
But I've also looked at a bunch of cues from other manufacturers and so far they've ALL put their rings right above and below the wrap, none of these "floating rings" near one side of the wrap and not the other.
I probably would have bought this cue in the link already if it wasn't for this dumb ring.
Thanks for listening.
