feedback on Bill McDaniels Cues?

Ever notice the larger and larger cult that is following Bill's cues. Wow!!! He must make the best cues ever. Everytime someone posts a message on here more and more people say his cues are the best.
 
Thanks

Thanks for all the info! Sounds like he makes a heck of a cue and I should be pretty happy if I pick one up!
 
Best kept secret in cue making for 30+ years. Buy or try a Bill Mcdaniel Custom cue. PM me or better email me, with your feedback. Let me know what you think? dairehart@comcast.net

I had a high end BM that came apart or developed a serious buzz/rattle on the inside with no abuse.Same thing happened to a Gina I had but it was 20+ years old.
 
Send it back for repair. The cue guarenteed, if the cue has not been abused.

No Bill"s early cues did not have a logo, or mark on the outside. I can't remember the year he started using his logo.

Ty I thought so....seems like a McDaniel and trust worthy source but better safe than :-(....any difference in value of earlier sp McDaniel cues with no logo ??? Cue plays great but curious what a good shape sp McDaniel like this should go for b4 I buy .. just hits well and price seems right not that I need more cues but ya know how that goes. Ty for your help.
 
I had a sneaky Pete by bill,steal joint awesome player wish I still had it,I had the pleasure of talking to him and his wife at the DCC one year,just a great guy.i was low on cash at the time and he was willing to work out a super deal for me to get a cue from him,but I had to pass..a true gentleman in every way....and Great playing cues.....

HOLY CRAP THIS POST IS FROM 2006?????

I own many different makers and I would put Bill's cues very close to the top with respect to build quality, asthetics, and hit. I love the hit of his ivory jointed cues the best. He is a very underrated cue maker in my opinion.
 
didn't Bill retire

Didn't Bill Mc Daniel sell the business some years ago . Now they are still called Mc Daniel cues, but he has nothing to do with bill anymore.
 
It's a long story. But there where no cues (Mcdaniel) made after the sale of his business. I beleive there no cues of any kind made after the sale.
 
I have seen a few McDaniels cues and I think they are well constructed and are a good solid cue. We don't get many in the St.Louis area. The only negative thing I have to say about them is they don't seem to hold their value very well. Maybe it is just the St.Louis area, I don't know. Basically a very good cue but quite frankly I am baffled about the value thing.
 
I have had several McDaniel's and love everyone of them. Bill is the most under appreciated cue maker in the world. His cues are as good as ANYONE
