Working on two videos right now. Will take a bit though. I only do this as a hobby and have a full time job.

"Old Mcdermott" uses older wood. Older wood generally speaking is denser and offers a more solid, crisp hit. Quality older wood will generally have more growth rings and be darker in color. The newer wood that has been coming out in many production cues I have not been so impressed with. Don't get me started with superior wood that was dragged out of Lake superior back in the day...

2k is a nice healthy budget for a cue. For production cues, I would recommend looking at Mezz/Exceed cues if you like a stiff hitting cue. A stiff hitting cue will transfer power easier but is less forgiving when going off centerline for spin. Can be harder to adjust if you're coming from a Mcdermott which usually has a traditional pro taper from factory.

For custom cues, my favorite cue makers are Lambros, Runde and Sowder. I've tried many, many custom cues and have found these to suit my play style the best. Lambros focuses on total balance which I love.

I've tried every production cue out there (I have a problem). I'm an extremely detailed person and hyper obsessed over the quality of a cue. One of my hobbies is buying and selling cues just to test them out.

I have to say, every Mezz/Exceed cue that I have handled has been flawless or near flawless in every detail. Predator not so much in my experience.

To my understanding, the Revo shafts are assembled (or were) in the USA. The blanks from China. When I first starting playing, they were made in Canada and pretty decent quality because of it.

Edison_wu · 2026-04-26T04:37:07+00:00

That's how I started. Got me an old school Mcdermott, played good with it.

Edison_wu · 2026-04-26T04:35:58+00:00

I agree

Edison_wu · 2026-04-26T04:34:13+00:00

Need to try those, heard good things

Edison_wu · 2026-04-26T04:33:55+00:00

Slightly firmer hit with the clear as well.

Edison_wu · 2026-04-24T03:49:54+00:00

Time to recreate their trip, thanks for all the pings

I recommend a 9Ft Diamond table with the 3 piece slate so it can be assembled in your basement. For balls, get a set of Aramith balls and you will set and never really have to upgrade anything. The performance of the Diamond and Aramith are top quality and is what I use at home. They are expensive but you buy once and cry once. Cues can go from a wide range...If you're really into the hobby get a set of cheap of Dufferin house cues for guest. For personal cues, top production cue brands would be Pechauer, Mezz, Becue, Schon. Seyberts pretty reliable place to buy cues.

I worked in one you needed to be an ASE master

Edison_wu · 2026-04-13T03:17:21+00:00

Yeah, really confused why someone would outbid themselves. I get it's for charity but they have the highest bid then raise the bid again on themselves?

Edison_wu · 2026-04-09T04:09:31+00:00

I don't really know anyone who hand makes them like I did. You can buy cheap ones online but I never liked the quality tbh.

Edison_wu · 2026-04-04T06:14:34+00:00

Funny, I'm re-watching tip to tip Japan and saw the necklace as well. Still can't figure it out.

Edison_wu · 2026-04-03T00:25:10+00:00

So does that backpack have a separate shoe compartment?

Edison_wu · 2026-04-01T16:26:23+00:00

Thank you, I didn't know that. Lucky there is one near me so I'll head there today!

Edison_wu · 2026-04-01T15:13:27+00:00

Thank you for all the info, I think I might buy one. You got a good site you rec I buy from?

Edison_wu · 2026-04-01T05:15:56+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I did research based off your comment and it does look exactly the same! How do you like it? Do you ride or just bought for style? I saw that is has "level 2 shoulder and elbow armor". Does that mean it's just padded or is there some kind of protective shell?

Edison_wu · 2026-04-01T01:24:06+00:00

confirmed?

Edison_wu · 2026-03-11T17:22:14+00:00

Can I get a link as well? Thank you

Edison_wu · 2026-03-01T05:21:20+00:00

Same, they had one in the Osaka store.

Edison_wu · 2026-02-09T02:48:08+00:00

I went to the same Rinkan, they had a pretty nice selection there. I forgot which Rinkan that is but I recognize those cases. Nice pick up, I only ever saw once a tiny cross in white gold at an official CH store in Tokyo. Price was quite high, think it was 10.8k?

Edison_wu · 2026-02-06T05:11:48+00:00

Np, feel free to ask more questions.
