Jacoby MAG vs McDermott GS vs Viking Kayano

Looks like the Vikings come with their performance shaft as a free upgrade - no experience with either that or their regular maple. The McDermott maple shaft, based on the feel and performance of the 50th I got recently is great and "traditional" and I'm reaching for it more and more vs. a terrific LD custom I have and the Becue carbon, but those three cues among my cues are the clear favorites. Haha, maybe it's because it came with a 13mm tip and my others are 12.5mm and I'm liking that difference as well for some reason.

Viking and McDermott warranty against warpage - something to consider if you are getting the traditional all maple, IMO - you never know. Jacoby does not appear to warrant against warpage - never had one of their cues, but the line you are looking at sure looks nice.

Get what you like, especially if you have the chance to test out, but I'd guess all the cues in the range you are looking at will be good ones.

You have the McDermott traditional shaft and not the G-Core? All my local shop had was GCore and Defy and Defy is way too much for my cheapness. LOL

I have a few 8 ball titles now. 🤷‍♂️ 😉 And my favorites end with Ass hoooole.
I moved up to 5 dollar lessons from Portland Slim. The eldest at the 211 down town and upstairs Seattle. He played me as a pass time and invariably put me down by 25-35. He was Old enough to tire and I was in my prime young(28).
So we played until I got it back to zero. A great workout and I paid the time and beverages.

Classic Cue Market Dying Off

Come to the Midwest and go in any poolroom. The # of custom cues has shrunk massively while #'s of Cuetec/Pred/imports has grown almost exponentially. The only people who buy/use customs anymore is the age group i mentioned and older. The current/next gen of players has no interest in the cues we all grew up lusting after.

I live in Wisconsin. I fully understand what you mean. But it's not because the custom market is dead, it's because the over priced, extremely long wait list custom cue market is dead.

People really don't prefer a production line cue, they prefer the price of it, and the "get it now" factor.

The trance like eyes.....🤔
Self help knows us. Hypnosis done to self.
I get the lucky when I feel good about who I am and what I am doing. Well that's when my best performance came. Long ago 😉
My favorite 8 ball lessons came......well, I have 2 favorites.
The first was a dollar a game at The South Hill Saloon. I was New and paid the dollar z for the lessons. I was very competitive in the 5 dollar 9 ball tournaments. The Old Elmer Fudd looking bunt ball block pocket Guy was like martial art lesson in Jui Jitsu.
