I was curious if anyone had compared the Mcdermott with the stinger shaft to the jericos that come with the stinger. im in the market for a good break jump cue, and for about 90 bucks less i think the mcdermott NG02 is way better looking than the ones offered by jerico although they are a similar design, just different materials. i just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback about these cues. If the Mcdermott is as effective, id rather have it for the looks!! im not on this blog much so if someone could email me with any info id be grateful! rsmitty33@yahoo.com thanks!!
