McDermott cues in The Color Of Money

Just for fun I thought i’d comb through the movie and see what McDermotts I could find. Everyone knows about the Joss cues, but most people don’t know that McDermott donated a bunch of cues for the movie as well. All of them are from the D series produced in 1984. Many models came in a variety of stain and wrap colors. If I missed any let me know 🍻

First up is Moselle spotted using a green stained D-6 with a green nylon wrap.

Great thread .. brings back a lot of good memories 👍
Back then I had a love hate relationship with McDermott .. i was younger and couldn't afford a really nice cue but I played a lot with a guy who had a McDermott and he beat the brakes off me all the time with that thing hahahaha

McDermott cues in The Color Of Money

Granted it's not pool related but fishing tournaments has the same thing depending on the brand of the pickup used to tow the boat , the boat manufacturer and in some cases the rod and reel used .
I was going to say the same thing about the fishing industry .. hunting and firearms world would do it as well .. win a match with our ammo or our firearm and there was always a bump on the pot for it

Better Act Fast……Public Service Announcement

Nice to know but has anyone translated Euro dollars to U.S. currency inclusive of any tariff expense.
Then figure what the heck the shipping cost is from Germany and better use PayPal for protection, not
meaning to imply the seller isn’t reliable. I’m referring to potential delivery problems & not getting the balls.

I come up with a Euro exchange rate of 1.18 x $245 = $289.10. The current tariff rate is 10-15% so assume
worst case of 15%. $289.10 x 1.15 = $332.47 and of course. shipping cost from overseas is not inexpensive.
So the deal Randy scored is looking even better because he got the Centennial balls at a great price & quick.
