McDermott GS cues have a 3/8x10 wood-to-wood joint and a solid maple shaft with a long traditional ferrule. This joint, shaft and ferrule combination is found on quite a lot of custom cues today. The GS comes with a lifetime warranty, a lifetime maintenance plan and for $328.00 you can have one at your door in 3 or 4 days. The workmanship is fine. And if you need it fixed, McDermott will get it back to you in a crazy short time and treat you kindly. I've played with one and it feels much like a lot of the custom cues I've played with. So I wonder why these aren't wildly popular.
McDermott GS Cues -- Where's the Love?

I bought a low-end McDermott cue with a maple shaft 20 years ago and it is still my playing cue. No warp in the shaft. Butt rolls true. Joint remains tight. Nothing fancy, but I have never been able to blame any of my many missed shots on this cue.
McDermott is not as active compared to other brands in sponsorship or advertising, so they fly under the radar. But if you want a cue made in the USA at a reasonable price, they are certainly worth a look, IMO.

I have one. Nice cues
Sorry no love…
Who cares about old school shafts? Low deflection shafts have been around for 30 years, I won’t play with a standard maple shaft… I have many of them and sometimes for the kick of it, I’ll hit a few balls with them but for serious play, it's LD shafts only.
Second, can’t add extension to their cues (except for the H series), which in today’s world it’s a big no no.
I know that Americans love USA made products and I solute such approach but at the end of the day, the benefits should go both ways. Would you buy such a cue at this price if it was made in China?
You can get today so much more for $400
