Yes his cues and craftsmanship is great. Again b4 I purchase sp McDaniel without logo does any1 else know if he did them 100% without logo? Tyvm and yea wow this is a 6 year old thread....goodstuff ...couple pics. Plain hits great though and everything looks right for a McDaniel sp....the butt capp is close to size of axlerose 2ñd cue attached ...top one has big capp as said old school but the 2nd is quite smaller but with logo?????

I don't believe this is a old Mcdaniel sneaky. The butt cap on this cue is small. the early cues had the full size butt cap, (old school). It may be a newer cue with the logo removed, maybe during a refinish???

Yes Bill definitely did do cues without logos. But the one you show does not look like Bill's work.

Ty and I agree I thought he made some without logos too but like you mentioned it looked right except the butt capp is shorter? ??? Rings, collar, joint looks right I think but butt capp is like 3/4 of inch at best and this seems off. I don't know why any1 would remove the logo unless there was issue and was either fixed or replaced? I'm good friends with Bob Dzuricky and maybe he'll know or at least tell me if work was done on butt? Too bad cause hits nice, similar to TG sp but stiffer. Wish I could identify maker if it's not a McDaniel??? Any thoughts r welcome. Ty again for your responses.
my regards

Pics are of SW with logo but I've heard there r some fake SW cues too,is there anyway to be sure its a SW?? Ty again
