McDermott cues in The Color Of Money

[HawaiianEye]

Here is a nice McDermott with a great track record.

It was only used for one tournament and then retired.

Granted it's not pool related but fishing tournaments has the same thing depending on the brand of the pickup used to tow the boat , the boat manufacturer and in some cases the rod and reel used .

I was going to say the same thing about the fishing industry .. hunting and firearms world would do it as well .. win a match with our ammo or our firearm and there was always a bump on the pot for it

Just for fun I thought i’d comb through the movie and see what McDermotts I could find. Everyone knows about the Joss cues, but most people don’t know that McDermott donated a bunch of cues for the movie as well. All of them are from the D series produced in 1984. Many models came in a variety of stain and wrap colors. If I missed any let me know

First up is Moselle spotted using a green stained D-6 with a green nylon wrap.

Great thread .. brings back a lot of good memories
Back then I had a love hate relationship with McDermott .. i was younger and couldn't afford a really nice cue but I played a lot with a guy who had a McDermott and he beat the brakes off me all the time with that thing hahahaha
