mcd cue upgrade

[prorab]

hey guys!

i have a lower g-series mcd cue with a g-core shaft, slightly modified on the joint -- it has an uni-loc.

is the quality of the butts good? i'm not quite satisfied with the performance of the cue, so i desided to upgrade. should i rather just buy a new shaft, or go for the whole cue??

hope u can help me out with this. i'm fine with the looks of the butt, but cant say, whether it's that good in performance. but the previouse owner did invest some money in the upgrade to uni-loc, so it must be a decent butt, right??

I have a lower g-series McDermott as well and I think it is an excellent butt. I'd recommend an OB shaft with a good tip. The tip and shaft are far more important than the butt. Your shaft, as is, might be fine. Can't offer any opinion on the g-core shaft, though.

I wouldn not say the uni-lock is a up grade. Try new tips and ferrules this can make or break how a shaft will play. My new builds get 3/8 tenon and uncapped melamine ferrules with Kamui soft tips. All the LD shafts feel dead to me. Hard to beat a good old Maple shaft IMO.
