Hey, A couple of years ago I purchased a McDermott M81E on eBay for about 100$. The cue was brand new. However, due to my lack of experience and ignorance the cue is now warped. Rolling the shaft and butt of the cue individually shows both have a slight roll. I've started shooting pool again...

I contacted the seller of that exact item on ebay earlier today. I asked whether it had separated pockets for the butt/shaft sections of the cue. He responded and informed me that it did not. Other than that, it would be exactly what I was looking for. I actually like the simple design of the...

I wasn't exactly looking for a hard case. I was targeting someone who has a professional cue case, and maybe got a free soft case with a cue purchase that they didn't want/need.

Hey guys, I just recently ordered myself my first cue. I'm looking for a cheap case to carry it around in. I've found a few on ebay for less than 10$ shipped, which are decent. Before I pull the trigger on one of those, I was wondering if anyone else had anything for around 10$ shipped. I know...

I usually go to Felt, on Jericho turnpike because I been working down the block from there. I stop there sometimes when I get off work. It's like 8$ an hour for one person. Quite a few years back, I would goto Doc's on main street, in Bay Shore. I've been there like once or twice as well...

Hrmmm Now you've got me thinking about canceling the McDermott cue and getting the Players cue.

I already purchased the McDermott m81e, lol. I'm not feeling too bad about it though :cool: I guess from my perspective, i'm coming from a 20$ kmart stick, to a legitimate, respectable cue. I believe either of the two would have more than satisfied me. Atleast this way, I feel that down the...

It was a pool hall around here, in long island NY. The guy wanted 150$, but it had a slight *roll* (it seemed straight to me, but he rolled it on the table and said it had just a slight roll), and he knew my budget so he said he'd give it to me for 100$. Now, I gotta get myself a cheap case to...

Hey guys. First off I just wanna say thanks so MUCH for all the help you guys gave me on helping me find a cue. I just found a deal I couldn't refuse, so I purchased it. I hit up ebay, as most people suggested in my other thread and searched for the McDermott cue. I found a similar model, the...

Thanks for all the tips, it seems as though the McDermott is clearly the better choice here. I currently play with a hand-me-down sportcraft fiberglass cue. My complaints are, in comparison to a wood cue, the shaft isn't *slick*. To clarify, the shaft on my fiberglass cue is clean, free of...

The McDermott is within my budget aswell. Would u still suggest the players over the McDermott?

Thats re-assuring to hear. All signs are pointing to the McDermott right now. For some odd reason, my gut is just telling me to go with the Players cue, lol. Maybe because it's the cue I narrowed myself down to for the past week, and then just today had a new option. haha.. Man oh man i'm so...

One question. I play at my university's game room where we bring our own balls/sticks ect. Me, and my buddies are all amatures. I would only bring one cue with me, not seperate break cues/ect.. So, whatever stick I purchase would be used all around. Would the wood joint hold up to breaking...

Hrm.. I agree, I can see how the McDermott would be a better in terms of price value. In terms of playability though, which would probably be the better cue? The Players offers a LD Shaft, implex joint, and a Kamui Black Medium Tip.. While the McDermott offers a regular(?) shaft, wood to wood...

Hey guys, this is my second thread, and I do apologize if I am offending anyone by creating a new thread rather than continuing on my old one. I've narrowed down my hunt for a cue on my tight budget of upto 100$. I traveled around to local pool halls, and managed to find many used but in good...

I did look into the dale perry cue's, but they're selling for more than what my budget can afford. I recently stumbled upon the McDermott Star S11 cue, it's a few dollars out of my budget, and I probably won't spend this much, but it's definitely the nicest looking cue i've seen for the price...

The overall idea sounds really interesting to me, especially at mine and my buddies novice skill level. I appreciate the fact that the incoming playing is forced to examine the table, create a game plan, and attempt to follow that. I specify that because at our skill level, sometimes we focus...

I've been looking at a lot of cues lately, and i'm truly leaning towards the HXT cue. I have to say that, honestly, schmelke cues are really just too ugly lol. I'm still hesitant to order just yet though, i'm not 100% if it's the cue I want.. I'm leaning to ordering new because the fact that I...

The HXT series by Players has grabbed my attention because of it's low deflection shaft, a feature I have yet to see on any other cue within my price range. After doing some research on the shaft itself, it seems to be pretty decent. I've narrowed it down to the HXT15 and the HXT30 (if you all...

Thanks for the sound information. I should note that i'm heading back up to school in a couple of weeks, where I do play a lot of pool. I don't work while i'm at school, so my summer savings are going to get me through the semester haha. I could go the route of re-tipping this cue, but I...
