McDermott GS Cues -- Where's the Love?

[trob]

Their designs seem more 2000s/2010s-ish than explicitly traditional like Joss. Few of their cues even have veneers.

Yes.. just not what the current trend is but again to the people that like them imo other then the terrible lucky brand they sell cheap lol McDermott cues are a solid choice.

Though, it's hard to say what constitutes a modern looking cue since every company is doing its own thing.

Besides the most obvious stuff like the simple, highlighter colored Predator cues but that is not a positive.

As much as I like predator cues 99% of what they make isn’t for me. I like the old road line series. The sp2 and p3. The rest they can keep

Since we're talking about the look of McDermotts, here's one Jim made for me mid-80s.

Joss "Limited Series" cues are still available at $267.

Examples:

They are built on the same threaded step core construction as all other Joss.

Thread 'Joss "Limited Series" cues'

Mar 8, 2025

Greetings all. Joss is selling "limited series" cues on a couple pool supply warehouses. They're priced at $267.75 which is considerably lower than their norm. They aren't particularly attractive, but I've never played with a Joss and at that price it might be something to try. Has anyone played with one or know anything about corners they might have cut in construction to reach that price point? Thanks.
