McDermott finally fixing the "tacky" defy problem... Hopefully.

Defy shaft is junk. I tried to get McDermott to warranty the one I had, and they wanted $150 to resurface it. I declined and sold on eBay as quickly as I could.

Will never own another McDermott product again.

I don't know who you talked to but the $150 is not to resurface it. It is a trade up. You turn in your gen 1 or gen 2 shaft and get a new gen 3, which doesn't have the tacky issue. I have done many an upgrade for people and everyone I helped do it love the new generation of the shaft. But I understand if people were so off put by the previous generations that they don't want to give the gen 3 a try.

So let's ponder this for a second. I bought this shaft new, have receipts, and it has a material flaw that makes it pretty much unusable after a very small amount of play.

And to fix/warranty that original problem, your bad design, I have to give you another $150.

McDermott is a dead brand to me, I've moved on.
