well guys as some of you know i have been looking for this cue for sometimes......and i would like to thank DEADNUTZ for keeping me in mind...he saw it on ebay and sent me a pm about it......needless to say i was so happy to see that it had a buy it now.....so i snaped it up....NOW FOR THE STORY.....i started playing pool in 1986 and played at our local recreation center....i would ride my bike up there to play with friends...i couldnt get enough of the game and time spent with my friends..well after playing for 5 years and getting my first car....i joined a league at the local barnes.....well needless to say you played for points...and at the end of the league you could by stuff from the book with the points....our team sucked but we had lots of fun...we didnt get a bunch of points so i bought points from one of the guys on the team that allready had a cue as was able to get enough points to get my first cue.....so here it is....i am glad my taste in cues have changed....but i just couldnt get this cue out of my mind and how much fun it was playing for the love of the game......at this point in my life that is why i play because i love the game....and this cue just reminds me of why i started to play and i dont ever want to get to the point again were the game becomes no fun.....so enjoy as you look at my rarer then hens tooth...:D

Glad you found one. Being an old McD, I am sure it shoots great too.

I'm sure glad I still have my first.
 
Good story Mickey I had a red Viking almost identical to that cue that was my first one. I hope it shoots good and nice to see you found one.. :thumbup:

Not bad at all Mickey. You could call it the ''GREEN MACHINE'' throw a dud on that baby and go to town.
Glad you found your old cue sir. A trip down memory lane. Take care & let me know when your DUD package arrives.

a buddy of mine named it the green goblin....lol....a pretty good player hit some with it and said damn it plays pretty good....its like i am 18 again when i see it....just funny stuff....dud is going on after i have a new ferrule put on it for sure.....:thumbup:
 
haha..my first brand name cue was a blue medermott with a light baby blue rack lol I swear they had some strange color combo's back then.
 
glad you found it. i have a similiar story and am currently looking for a cue. wish me luck.
 
Yeah...I like a good love story...it's kinda like finding your high school "crush" on Facebook after 20 years...meeting up again and getting married... :p

I still have my "original" player...an Orchid...sitting in a case...needs a refinish...needs the buttcap fixed...needs a new wrap...needs a new shaft...should probably just be taken out into the back yard and shot to put it out of its misery...but I don't have the heart...so, it'll continue to stay tucked away safe in the case...:embarrassed2:

Not as "fancy" as your cue, Mickey, but this is my first one.

ralf that is a MONSTER....MY PIMP HAND ISNT THAT STRONG YET....LET ME TELL YOU, I WISH YOU THE BEST.....and thai women watch out the monster is heading your way....:smile:
 
Cool that you found what you were lookin for. That cue just begs to have a kawasaki sticker on it, love that green.
 
Hey Mickey,

I'm glad you found your tooth... :p


My first cue was a gray stained BEM McDermott. It played great. I donated the cue to a friend who couldn't afford to buy his own. He turned out to be a lyin' piece of $hit. Wish I still had it...


Take care,
Chris
 
Great story. First cue I ever bought was a 1980 McDermot C-3. Still straight, still play with it. Here it is:
