Any D series McDermott fans out there?

[sourhed87]

Appreciate the feedback on the refinshing, actually the D-16 I have is in very good condition, if anything needs to be done would be to get the butt and joint polished or whiten. Thanks again.

I had McDermott refinish my D-17 and match an I2 shaft and it came back looking brand new. The turn around was really good too like 2-3 weeks.

I've had quite a few of them. My two favorite cues out of the series is a D-14 and a D-17.

I'd buy a d17 if I could find one in good shape with the brown stain.

My first good cue was a D-1 smokey grey stain with an irish linen wrap. I loved that cue. Loved it.

Here is an odd twist of events...a coincidence of sorts. I just found out tonight that my wife bought me a D-1 with linen wrap! LOL!


Hey JB, maybe it was yours!?


I have a feeling I won't see it until Christmas but she let the cat out of the bag already.

I regret selling the D-3 last year. Very nice example I think.

PS Chop: I miss my tube case

You miss it? Well, it's doing just fine holding my Huebler. If you were closer we could arrange visitation.

What's to miss about that beat up old thing? :grin-square:

Here's a D-17 for you. Not the later ones with the lighter green butt sleeve inlays and darker wrap, but the original darker green inlays and white/green wrap. It was an Ebay acquisition a bunch of years ago, and proof that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good cue. The shaft is one of the best in my inventory, nice tight grain, perfectly straight, and doesn't absorb chalk dust. Enjoy!

i'd be happy with that as a player

Here is my D-19. Bought it new maybe in 86? Going to send it out probably to Proficient for refinish as the butt end is knicked up pretty good. The forearm is superb. I prefer the Birdseye maple - beautiful! Linen is original as well. Have had lots of mileage from this cue. :thumbup

Absolutely!

Here's my D-3.. My dad got this cue new in 1984, at 17 years old. I grew up admiring this cue, watching Dad run racks week after week in competition as well as smoking me on our home table. Well, he gave it to me a few weeks ago during my visit. It means so much more to me than any pool stick could and I wouldn't trade it for a rocket. I love the simple beauty it possesses.. No fancy points, no nothing. Just the prettiest red Bubinga you ever could see.
The shaft is shot and the butt could use a little bit of TLC, but I'd say it's not in too bad of shape for being 30 years old. Thinking about sending it in to McDermott for a refinish and a new shaft when I get the money. What do you guys think?
