I still rep McDermott. I've been building on the same Lucky series for over a year. Started with just a lucky and loved it. Got a used G core shaft for it and loved it more. I got it cheap because it had a hairline crack starting in ferrule. Played with it constantly until it finally craxked through. Bought a used Defy to use while the g core was off at McDermott getting a new ferrule, turned down to 12.5 and a Kamui Clear Soft Tip. It's a good shaft and like it even more. It's a gen 1, so the coating doesn't work well with skin, but shoots great with a glove. Now I have a Lucky Butt, G Core Shaft, Traditional Maple Shaft and a Defy Shaft all for less than $500. Pretty happy about it and love the way they play.

Nice review as always. I got the valhalla by viking based on your review and it truly is amazing. It's so cheap compared to your other sticks but its the best stick ive ever owned. Keep up the great work good sir!

Would these shafts have the same anti warping quality as a full carbon shaft?

Do you have a video explaining your technical tests? I recently getting back into the game of pool. (APA SL2) trying get my skill back up. Things like squirt and pivot point I'm not understanding.

Just ordered a WHITE one. For $40, it's just too simple/pretty looking not to try out. I'll come back for an update comment after a week or so of on felt use to update. *naming the cue: "Al". "AL BYNO".

My first cue was a Lucasi with the LD shaft. While I prefer my current Predator 314 shaft, the Lucasi shaft really isnt that far behind, though I think they are making a mistake by pricing it the same as the Predator as they're missing cashing out on that lower tier. Why would anyone pay almost $400 for the Lucasi shaft when they can just get the Predator. Now, when the shaft comes with the cue, it's great value. Especially considering how nice Lucasi designs are. My only big problem with Lucasi is those rubber grips that eventually wear away.

The real question is how have these cues done over time? If it did warp, what would the process of getting a new one entail?

Have you compared these to the dynasphere bronze/tungsten? I've heard them compared to aramith premier or better.

Have you tried the dynasphere line? Ive heard on the budget side that they are much better than aramith

Mate you are amazing. I watched the TRS brand video and it is very sub-par to this. Thank you you lege nd

I love your speech skills, pls do the review of Temu carbon fiber cues.

i use this for napped cloth with great results. why would u recommend against this?

Couple of questions, and I may have missed the answers in the video:- - Does the unit have to sit on top of your cue? i.e. It can't be positioned to the side? - Does it measure cue rotation? i.e. Firming up your grip as you stroke through? Even if those features exist in the product I think £180 is steep. I appreciate there is R&D, app build costs, and device costs, but I suspect the device is pretty much an accelerometer, a Bluetooth chip, some basic EPROM, and a battery so likely no more than £10 in components.

I used a tape measure 📏 from dot to dot was 50” so right at 25” I placed the dot and the tape measure was straight so it was easy to do

Can you do a review on Schmelke cues soon ? Especially the 120 dollar cue . Appreciate your videos !

Put a good tip on it,and it could play lights out

I'm an APA 5/6 (no Fargo but would be equivalent to 450-550 according to Dr Dave). I literally just received a DigiCue trainer in the mail last week. Very happy with that purchase and a comparable product to this QMD3. My decision to purchase the trainer was simply out of awe that the inverter is so talented and has been working on a cue-ball with sensors inside that looked absolutely incredible. Instead of an audible fault indication the Digicue vibrates like a cellphone but not as intense. You can change the settings to turn the vibration on for success, failure, or disable the vibration all together. After a few hours of initial play I decided to turn off the vibration and just have it log my shots. A Full week of multiple hours of play daily what it's shown me is I have a decently straight stroke with good fundamentals, however fallow through and finish are consistently faulting so something for me to work on!!! The DigiCue weight is something I can feel but I'm not bothered by it as I switched cues recently and can deal with change. Thank you for this review and the great content, always enjoy your stuff, god bless.

Very Helpful, thank you so much

Do you have any videos of you (or anyone) playing snooker on a 9ft American pool table?

Bad timing for the video. Everywhere is showing out of stock.... Good review though!

An empty pop bottle laying on the table. Practice running your cue tip in and out consistently will do the same thing for 5 cents.

Great video. Now that said, I hate to say it but I am not sure how many pool players will buy it. I suspect a fair amount with a Fargo over 500 might, but not the other 95%. Your typical bar and league player are recreational players. That said, I might buy one. Looks very interesting.

It was ok for a first time cue of mine. I had a black 18 oz and a green 21 oz. Eventually I upgraded to Cuetec and a Z shaft from Predator. I gave the black one away eventually and the shaft was super warped when I spun it on a pocket lathe. 😂

Great job and nice video 👍🏻 I just have two questions: 1) Why not using contact glue applied with a brush instead of this spray glue (no covering up needed)? 2) When it comes to the pocket trims. Why not just gluing a piece of cloth in the exact same place where you‘ve put the plastic strap trim, right over the staples? Don’t understand the purpose of that plastic strap. Thanks!

Great video. I have been watching a few. Considering replacing my cloth myself. I have to admit, there are steps that make me nervous, but I appreciate the logical approach to this process!

Any chance a Predator acros 2 billiard ball set review coming?

Lucasi 25 years ago were great

I'll never use master again. I never thought I'd use anything else. After buying my first $20 cube of taom, I'm never going cheap again. I play 2-3 hours a day and now clean my table just every two weeks instead of two days. Worth $20 every day.

A broom handle in the right hands is better than any cue at any price. Of course, those same hands with a good cue will do magic.

I find triangle to be messier than Master. Gets all over my hands and the shaft…

I’m setting my oversized 8’ heirloom and found this video, I’m seeing the boards that go under the slate frames in the corners..they are cut in the same of the pocket…are they for the nets? Or are they for support? You don’t show them in assembly, they aren’t there throughout leveling the slates. But they are there on cloth install. I’m asking because 3 of my 4 are broken..I’ll replace if they are support as I’ve made my own nets.thank you and great stuff I watch all the pool table videos y’all are awesome,,

Whatever happened to NTC? I always thought that was pretty good chalk with a really good grip!

4/16ths?!! 🤯.....😂

I can't seem to find the video on wicking and glueing the seams. Could you provide a link please?

Looks like cheap garbage to me!

Thanks for the tutorial. Very nice step by step instruction. Can you also make a video of replacing the cloth on a slate only with no wood underneath?

I love these types of videos and your layout of video! Great quality and informative. Seems like every pool video or review needs to be 5 minutes or less. I enjoy the longer more thorough reviews. I also would love for you test out tips on the same cue to see tiger Everest tips, thoroughbred tips in medium soft,milk dud tips, g2 medium tip, and Caiden fighter tips in either medium or soft.

a good cue you recomend from amazon? 50-200$ range?

...sweet

Curious to see how blue diamond stacks up against this. Great video though! 😁👍👍

Not many reviews on katana cues they are pretty good

Need recomendation of cue for 100-140. Im thinking off a mcdermott lucky or a fury ty knight Viking valhalla isnt available in my country Some of my thoughts are the mcdermot is at 150 ish the one available is the one with decals that is 60$ more expensive thatln the normal one while the fury is at 120 with low deflection.

J U N K

just found one on amazon £92 !!!! bit of a difference.

I can't imagine anyone who is remotely interested in pool would actually buy this. Might as well use a house cue.

Using this exact cue model in 21oz blue. Very little wobble and extremely stiff. Tip feels hard to medium. I use this cue is used for breaking only. Better than any off the wall cues at any pool/ billiards clubs. I won’t be crying about it if I inadvertently leave it behind lost either.

Few years ago, that cue shape was sold by Cuesoul... ever since I´ve always been curious, it looks more like a product from a sex shop than from a pool hall... other than that, I´ve been always curious, this video was exactly what I needed to find out without spending a dime.

My friend bought their break cue. It came rattling and with what I can only describe as, "an intensely underwhelming tip". I'd love to see that Lucky review soon!
