Did you Register your Pool Cue Warranty?

I'm seeing that all pool brands are saying that their warranty is non-transferrable. But at the same time none of the brands require you to register your new pool cue.

Basically, if you don't register then whoever owns the cue at the time is covered? as long as the owners/sellers keep passing along the receipt. True? yes?
 
If I am buying a second hand cue, or anything else, defects covered under the original warranty would have already surfaced.

Depends... I just sold an expensive shaft that I had only owned for 4 weeks, and used maybe 5-10 hrs. I wish I hadn't registered it so I could have handed over a warranty.

Really? Name some quality cues?

I've seen split shafts, broke ferrules, warping on butts and shafts, butts peeling, loose joints on all sorts of different brands. I don't think defects discriminate.

Well the the flip side is the guy who leave his Cue in Cars Trunk, in Hot Dry Arizona. It will Warp.

Should warranty cover peoples goof for not realizing a cue will WARP in 110+, that hot, truck is hotter.

Only production Cue I own is a Merry Widow - Dufferin, it has had no problem because I protect it from the het of Arizona.

Looks like someone swallowed their tongue on that one.

Morally responsible warranty claims are a different thing. But I will 100% agree with you if u can riddle me this... have you ever thrown away a care guide or instruction manual without reading it first?
 
how many ai posts are needed before they have all the info they need?
no shortage of people happily feeding the machine
 
Never registered a warranty of any kind, on any thing, much less a cue. No new cue i ever bought had a warranty that had to 'registered'. All of them, builders i mean, have their own methods for backing a cue. Only covering the original buyer is pretty much assumed. BTW, is the op a total pool newb? Asks a lot of questions that only outright beginners would ask. Just curious.

I have heard from McDermott Owners, they are well constructed, and do fix things that are True Warranty problems.

Cant call Cue abuse, builder fault.

Yup.

Buyer beware though.

The last time I swung by Chris Nitti's shop I told him that his cue was defective because it didn't make very many balls.

He said that wasn't covered... 😂
 
Legally you are not required to register for warranty, they may state it's a requirement, but really not. If warranty is for original owner only, you will be required to provide proof of purchase if you haven't registered it. So no, if you are the second owner, you cannot just say you are the original owner.
After more thinking, if your cue is from overseas, this may not hold true.
