I just got a new McDermott G208 cue with a G-core shaft two weeks ago. Tonight, I noticed a crack running vertically in the shaft from about 3 inches above the joint to about nine inches up the shaft. I have no clue in the universe how it cracked. I just got the cue and have never had a shaft crack in any way before. I take good care of my cues. When not in use, they are always in their cases. This cue has never been dropped or bumped into anything, and I don't use it to break with. So I'm both mystified and upset to find this crack in the shaft.
I'm posting this because I would like advice on what to do about it. I'm thinking I have three choices: (1) call the store I bought it from and see what (if anything) they'll do about it. (2) call McDermott; I registered the cue with them the day I got it and it has some sort of lifetime warranty. (3) See if I can have it repaired. I actually DON'T think I should mess with this last option unless neither the store nor McDermott will do anything about it.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
