It has a lifetime warranty. Send it back in and they will replace it.

Maybe I’ll get the new version

That is what they would replace it with. They don't sell the gen 1 or gen 2 anymore.

Not that unusual. If you're covered by warranty, email McDermott, if not any competent cuemaker can fix that.

That’s what I thought. Looks like someone used hardly any epoxy on the ferrel insert.

never saw anything like that. but im old school must be a jump cue. which i dont use.
but looks like something you would find in walmart.

and epoxy will crack if being hit a lot.

Well it should be a tight fit, so it will only be a thin layer of epoxy, so that's normal. The issue is almost always bad prep and the wrong epoxy used.

Yep. The front fell off.

Thermal expansion occurring between dissimilar materials is typically to blame for issues like this. Don’t believe the folks that say leaving your cues in a hot/cold car won’t do anything, this is a likely result.
