I'm going to....
I'm pretty sure if I buy that cue I'll play just like Shane, of course, I would probably have to die and possess his body to do so.....

on a more serious note. I was a huge disliker of LD tech for a long time. I then bought a McDermott 2009 cue of the year with the I-squared shaft. at first I was using a REALLY long bridge and BHE and then it was pointed out to me by my friend CJ that I was aiming wrong for that cue. I adjusted to a mostly parallel adjustment for english and now I won't play with anything else.
I remember talking to Jim McDermott not long after Jim Varney's passing (he was a good friend and it hit him hard) and I have nothing but respect for Jim McDermott...so I don't mind promoting the cues even though Jim isn't as prolific in McDermott cues anymore from what I've heard.

Anyone that knows Shane knows he wouldn't endorse a product that he doesn't believe in. Because he had some false preconceptions about Cuetec still being the same product from years ago (like many people do), it took him a few years to entertain their offers. Then one day he tried one of their cues while we were at a billiard supply store and he was surprised how much he liked it. He never would have signed a deal with them otherwise. I've heard him say many times that the lower deflection shaft has helped his game and he swears by it.

I am seriously not trying to be a smartass, but surely you are not talking about the same Jim Varney that played the part of Ernest P. Worrell???
If not, was there any relation to the actor? I believe the actor was Jim Varney, Jr., although in movie credits he was usually listed as just Jim Varney.
