Why buy American?

LOL I find that kinda weird that they didnt catch that at the factory. Maybe I'm just retarded and the reason that is backwards has something to do with the camera. If it is that way I would be slightly upset and would be wanting a refund/exchange. I also noticed that large knot in the shaft wood to the far right. I personally would not want that in any of my shafts but could overlook the decorative inperfections if I had gotten a "deal" on the cue.
The Question is, can you repair it....
There, everybody feel better now?
Very simple - buy cheap, expect less.

Because it support some American who is trying to make a living. Sadly there is not much made in America any longer, but companies like Ralph Lauren have gone off shore for CHEAP LABOR RATES, but there price to the end user is the same.
Disney, NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. are all having there officially licensed merchandise made off shore.

I dont know if any of you are mcdermott fans but the RS series from around 1996-1998 at the top end had the RS-13 which had the masterpiece joint a few of these cues had the clover leaf with the stem going the opposite way...............
I spoke with Jayme at Mcdermott as i was concerned it was a copy and he explained to me it was a mistake which only affected a few cues.
So if people out there do come across a mcdermott or other cues like that then it might be worth more than you think to a collector.

Um, although Stealth is an American brand, they are made, like 99% of all cues, in China.
You know it was faked and just flipped around, EVERYONE lays down the shafts to the left of the butt end. EVERYONE!!
If you want quality control, go to Japan. There they know what doing things right means.
I think the first picture was just reversed and the logo is not actually backwards.

An even more important reason to buy American. In the long run it is better for the economy, both the nation's and your personal economy. American jobs keep money flowing in America.

I'm 100% sure Ryan's point was that quality control IS a reason to buy American, and not Chinese.

I don't believe you have two Stealth cues.
Where was the Stanley tape measure made?
