I often like different or unusual and the first collaboration between McDermott and Chops Mfg turned out a cue that impressed me in it's uniqueness. Unfortunately, I was never aware of it until years after it sold out. People were asking triple the price & more at that point.
A few days ago, someone posted on Reddit that they were going to release another collab soon in a Sneaky Pete style. I was interested, but didn't actively look into much. Anyway, yesterday I opened one of my Socials and there was the ad for this, with a link to order yours. I pounced and ordered the SP1. I should've ordered one of each, but they sold out mere minutes after I completed my order.
Realistically, I feel this new collab isn't quite as special as the original. For one thing, it comes with a standard maple shaft instead of the recycled skateboard shaft the original did. It doesn't really matter to me though. I think the whole project is neat and I will be very happy to have one of these pieces in my collection.
Which would you have chosen?
