The problem I have with this is that these cues shouldn't be branded as McDermotts. It totally kills the aftermarket for their higher end line since it will give peeps the impression that all McDermott cues are made overseas. It also is going to make a lot of people think that the Star and Nitro lines are the same level of quality as the true McDermott line. Having seen and played with both, I can tell you that they're really different. Still better than a Wallabushka though. Ok, I see your point.

I'm new to the APA, I've been playing with a borrowed cue for a year. I personally think these things are a great idea. Yes there low end. I'm not trying to say that they are the same quality as a true McDermott. What I am saying is that I'd rather buy a starter cue marketed by a company I know, and that has an established reputation. It's better than using a beat house stick either way. The shaft can always be replaced later on down the line. After all that is the part that truly counts. Okay.

Predator is doing this with Poison, but in Predator's defense, they're at least not whoring their cues out at Wal-Mart at infomercial prices. I think this is going to rub the core players the wrong way, however they may be able to make it up selling quantity at the big box stores (assuming of course that the big box stores decide to pick these up).
