    Derby City pictures from early days

    With Derby City Classic just around the corner, I started digging thru some old pictures. Thought it would be fun to share. I was at the very first Derby City and pretty much every one since. My daughter would come with me in the early days when DCC was at Executive Inn. She got to meet all...

    I play a McDermott D15 (a real beauty) with a G Core shaft with matching collar that I had McDermott make. Cue is 19.6 as is. As my stroke has developed and gotten better with the GCore shaft I'm feeling the cue is a bit rear end heavy. I've played a few 19 oz modern cues with LD shafts and...

    change McDermott D15 butt weight

    Extension on break cue as extra option ?

    I can't put an extension on my playing cue because is a D series McDermott. Thinking about putting a Stinger break shaft on a McDermott G222 to make it a break cue.
