Hey McDermott, you restored my father's cue about two years ago, and I'm still blown away by the quality of work, and especially the customer service. You really surpass virtually any customer service experience I've ever had. Thanks for everything, and you'll have my business once I get to the point that I earned a Big Boy cue like yours.

Hey man, I know it’s 2 years later. But you don’t have to earn or deserve a nice cue! Having a cue you truly love will actually help your game consistency a ton plus you’ll enjoy playing more. If you can afford it, BUY IT. Even if you’re a beginner. Although if you’re a beginner I wouldn’t recommend a super small diameter shaft.

I've had McDermott cues for the last 30 years. I won't play with anything else. It's such a pleasure to pull out of the case and folks compliment me on such beautiful cues.

Incredible technology blended with hand craftsmanship. My dad and uncle owned a "pool hall" (billiard parlor is too snooty) from the 1950"s thru the 70's. I grew up in there. This video brought back the sights, smells and the memories of all the unique characters that frequented the place. Thanks to McDermott for sharing......

I work in a steel and brass cnc shop so the process is so similar machine wise. Not to mention I've played only with their cues since I started playing pool 7 years ago. This video was a treat. Thank you!

There is a tactile beauty in a good cue. You can feel the craftmanship in every shot.

My first cue was a McDermott and I'll never look back, beautifully made cues right here in the USA.

I was given a McDermott Cue in 1997. Shot for 20 years and stopped playing around 2017 as there are no billiard halls around my area anymore. I sold my cue last year and I miss it so much, I want it back even though I really don't shoot anymore. I really miss it.

i have your g229 cue and every time i see it ore take it out of my case, its like you met the love of your live. actually seeing how the cue you use every day is made was really inspirering. i appreciate your work

I have seen before how cues are made,but this video helps me appreciate the McDermott cues I have. Thank you,and I will always recommend McDermott Cues.

What an awesome insight into how quality cues are made. Thank you for the education. I guess I better start saving up for my McDermott cue!!!cues!!! I love the fact that it's made right here in the USA 🇺🇸!!!

Now maybe a video on how your cue cases are made. I bought one several years ago and couldn't be happier. Top quality at a very reasonable price.

I bought my McDermott cue in and about 1985 I was on a pool league for a spell , it went to Spain once and 15 different states it’s still in really good shape and sadly it’s not been used for the last 10 years , this was amazing to see how the cues are made the care and well thought out process to ensure they will last for many years.

Fantastic cues, amazing process making one.

Went there and ordered my 1st one about 35 yrs ago and still looks new ! And I've always broke with it ! Still as straight as an arrow. Got another one 2 yrs ago. Both have 2 shafts. I love them. Got my grandson one when he was 6.

Great video! I ordered a G229 from my retailer just yesterday as my first McDermott cue. Super excited to see that was the example cue selected (not my cue but somebody's G229) for this video. Thank you for the well shot and narrated video.

So much work, incredible.

I have a McDermott from about 30 years ago! I was so excited to buy it back then.

So satisfying to watch!

Can’t say how many videos I’ve watched through and through, but this was fantastic.

Love the D-Series tee shirt dude was wearing!! I play with an old D and love it. Have purchased extra shafts and had them turned to match. Great video!!

I love McDermott Cue. wish to upgrade someday. more power to you guys.

Simply amazing video and manufacturing process. Awesome piece of art and masterpiece.

Got my first McDermott cue in 1984. I still have it to this day and I'll pass it down to my grandkids!

I have 2 G cores and can say they are fantastic cues and the aftercare is also fantastic. That and a Simonis cloth give me endless pleasure.

Wonderful to watch! Now all I need is a pool table and a house with a room big enough to put it in!

I have a 20 year old cue from this company and have never played with a better cue. Thank you very much.

I had the privilege to use a set of pool cues by McDermott and was immediately impressed by the quality and balance and minimal vibration in certain conditions

Super high quality!

just plain wonderful.

I discovered my love for snooker/pool/billiards when I was about 9 or 10. I almost immediately fell in love with quality cues and started collecting them. Today I own anything from the classic Joe Davis 600 to completely hand-turned cues from exotic woods to novelty cues that fold together to become a walking stick or a cue made from extruded aluminum and injection molded plastic! But my favourite will always be my Riley; I had the butt re-worked, cored and re-weighted. It's not the most expensive cue in my collection, but I've spent more time with that thing than any human on this planet. What a treat to see inside the McDermott factory. And their cues are just marvelous!

I've been playing with McDermott cues ever since I started playing at the age of 15, (1986) The look, style and feel, has always made McDermott my favorite cues. Currently I'm saving and trying to convince the wife to let me buy the NG05 stinger break/jump and "hopefully" the G433. I'm no longer the young boy I once was, but as long as I'm able to play, it'll always be a McDermott in my hands.

Ima start saving up for one of these. I will pay extra money for something that people take their time and skill to create. I appreciate people who take pride in their work.

Had my McDermott made for me in 1982 by Dave Law master cue builder Mcdermott , took it in for revamp in 96. by Dave. still shoot(not much) with it it 2021.. Dave took me on tour of the facility.. great place..

Over the years I have accumulated three buttes and six shafts. All are still true and in excellent shape. The first cue I bought in 1971, the shafts are all snooker shafts, ranging from 17 Oz. To 18 Oz. and range from 17,17 1/2 to 18 mm. THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT.

I love my McDermott cues. They're all I buy. I had no idea though that I could send the butt end of my cue back, to be matched up with any new shaft, I want to buy. I might have to think about doing that, in the near future, for the last one I bought.

i have a few Mc Dermott cues, and they play well. My best cue is a Schoen with an extender and it is trustworthy. When i play less than well, i go to a Roy Black cue, and all problems seem to vanish. THen i go back to Schoen. My McDermotts are solid cues that send the balls wherever i hit them. I like the luxury of having a dozen decent , solid, well-made cues, and i notice they are all older than 21 years, which means i can take them into a bar and use them there.

Your cues are all amazing!! If only it's affordable, I would gladly have one.

Great video- thank you❤️✝️

I had a McDermott about 30 yo when I shot a lot of pool. I made the mistake of selling it back in the day. I recently started shooting again. I ordered a G339 and am itching to get it and shoot with it. This video fuels that fire even more.

As a third generation woodworker and cabinetmaker, I appreciate this craftmanship! I bought my first "big money" McDermott cue 30 years ago and still love it! My kids argue about it like my first shotgun and i think they are waiting on me to pass away so they can have em both... KIDDING! Great kids but they love both and after 30+ years,, guns and the cue shoot straight as the day I got em! Great to see an American made product still kicking ass! Definitely not that way in the cabinet business, sadly.

I still use an 80’s model D series. I own roughly 30 cues, and this one is still my go to. Original irish linen, original inlays, and original shaft. 100% original and plays just as well as the day i bought it.
