Scott--> where in PA are you located? i am from the wilkes-barre scranton area.. and yes.. it was the same when i started playing pool.. my first cue was a Mcdermott , actually one that had decals on it.. ya know.. the deer, antelope and elk.. we dubbed it "THE DEER CUE" lol.. it was famous..lol.. although it had a huge pin and hit like a ton of bricks.. but other then that everybody had like you said.. either a meucci or a mcdermott.. i went from my deer cue to a nice helmstetter (which i wish i had now) , sold that to buy a 1 of a kind schon from the late 80's early 90's.. sold the schon for car insurance money.. turned out i didnt really need the cash (wish i still had that cue! lol) bought a Joss east , i must have thrown that cue across the pool hall atleast a dozen times.. it was the stongest cue made ever. although.,. i most have broken about 5 shafts.. sold that.. and you know the story.. wish i still had it.. it played nice.. but you know.. memories.. got myself the most expensice limited lucasi because i love the way it looked.. although i rather play with an house cue.. bought an expensive schon this time and now i have my mottey.. in the middle there i must have had atleast 6 or so meucci's pass through my hands.. wether i bought them and sold them because the deal was right or whatever.. i think after all that.. i probably wont sell another playing cue of mine.. unless i am in dire need.. wether its something cheap or expensive. now if its something i bought to resell.. thats a different story..
